Almost Believable Tales

Fans of satire, science fiction, and fantasy alike will enjoy these eclectic, imaginative stories.

In Almost Believable Tales, Don Highmore presents nine short stories. Inspired by The Twilight Zone, where each episode has a unique genre and tone, Highmore has crafted stories that range from the satirical to the horrific. Some of the stories are more supernatural in nature, while others focus on the darker aspects of humanity. Indeed, these stories bridge the gap between reality and fiction; though there are fantastical elements embedded in almost all the tales, the stories also explore the human psyche and pose questions about serious human dilemmas, such as moving on after the death of a loved one.

From the battle between science and faith to the life of a civil servant, from the causes of a man's psychological issues to the consequences of a human and an alien falling in love, these stories will appeal to a broad swath of readers. Highmore also explores the correlation between zombie plagues and the end of civilization, the psyche of a murderer, the existence of ghosts, the reality of life after death, and the consequences of trying to steal a man's gold. Mystery, suspense, intrigue, fantasy… This collection of short stories truly has it all!
