The Sting in the Twisted Tale Emmanuel Chinyamakobvu

The Sting in the Twisted Tale is a collection of short stories. A number of the short stories are adapted from several of the author's published books, while a few others are extracts from the many works the author is working on and are yet to be published. In the short stories, the author creates scenes that visually jump to life and keep the reader in tension. The stories are a combination of rousing, dramatic, and at times comical look at the web of complications that arise from day to day life while others depict the brutal realities of war, crime, promiscuity, adultery and lies. As the events of each story begin to intermingle, the episodic discoveries and conflicts only become more interesting and compelling. The twists and turns in the stories keep building on top of complex and driven characters, and the stories crescendo extraordinarily to an unexpected and dramatic end. The characters in some of the stories exhibit unique and memorable qualities of both courage and determination while those in others, after all of their poor choices and moral challenges, the readers still empathizes with them.
