Have I Got a Story for You...

Did Orion find love in the Everglades? Will a young lemur become the world’s greatest guilt monkey? What actually happened between Gretel and Hansel? What terrible secret is hiding at Graceline Industries? Can an android feel love? Who is the mysterious figure stalking a family through the Amazon? And what is going on with all these cuticles and why are they in space stations?

Some–but not all–of these questions are answered within, as forty-eight new and intriguing writers of all ages explore the concept of the Unreliable Narrator. Proceed with caution and believe at your own risk.

You won’t believe what happens next.

Fun, fast reads with an interesting twist

Great concept: offer writers a challenge (or two, three) and then publish the most exciting submissions. The first story was a home run--loved it. And then there was the story written by that young author...the one about the Amazonian rainforest. Nice product-vendor tie-in.

What's the theme of the next one?!

This anthology is pure delight. The creativity with which this diverse collection of authors attacks a central theme is fascinating. Some of the younger authors who contributed are clear rising stars. I can't wait to see what they do next!

A charming anthology that will please a multitude of readers

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2014

This is a wonderful anthology written by a diverse group of writers—excellent for those interested in the literary device of an unreliable narrator, looking for up-and-coming authors in the greater L.A. and international arena, and for readers of all levels who love to devour anything from engaging stories to literary fiction. I highly recommend it.

Such a Fun Read! Great gift

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2014

this is a great collection of short stories. Some funny some tense. In this day and age when so many people commute or don't have time to sit down and read day Charles Dickens novel, the short stories are imaginative and fun reading.
Just in time for the holidays it would make a great gift. I plan to buy one for all the people who seem to have everything.

Delightful, Spooky, Thrilling, Fun!

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2014

Believe Me Not contains more than 45 innovative short stories from talented new authors and professional writers alike. In the same tradition as the Machine of Death anthology series, the stories in this collection share a common trope of the unreliable narrator–some funny, some naive, some dangerous–but all keeping secrets or hiding their real selves. Part of the fun of reading Believe Me Not is trying to puzzle out the truth before the rest of the characters do. There are also fun Easter Eggs and hidden puzzles throughout the book as a whole, which direct the reader to contests on the publisher's website.

This anthology would make a great gift for classroom teachers to use with their students as a way of teaching short story structure and narrative voice. I also recommend it for anyone interested in reading stories with a twist. Five Stars!

Full disclosure: I contributed to and worked as copyeditor for this book.

easily read stories

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2015

An entertaining book with a diverse group of short, easily read stories. They are so very different I don't think you can like all of them, but those I read were interesting. Since the writers are at the start of their careers they have room for growth and I think the future looks bright.
