ST. LOUIS, April 4, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- The eerie tales in Mark Allyn Stewart's new book, Stories Told by Flashlight (now available through AuthorHouse), are mind-altering enough even without the spooky glow of a flashlight. His yarns are a classic addition to a genre that routinely gets readers' hair standing on end.
Stewart's stories begin simply with everyday people going about their normal lives. Teenagers piled into a car for a double date think they are simply late for a movie in "Traffic Jam," but are rudely thrust into a frightening nightmare filled with strange creatures. "The Reunion" tells of old college roommates who meet again after 30 years, only to encounter a terrifying, supernatural fiend.
In the dark of night as a husband lies awake in bed, he hears a quiet giggle that sets off a struggle for survival against the unknown in "We Don't Know Him." The opening piece, "Guardian Angel," follows a jilted medical student as he follows his former girlfriend through a life he never knew she led.
Harkening back to the bizarre stories of "The Twilight Zone" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," Stories Told by Flashlight invites readers into a tantalizing, imaginative world where things are not as they seem.
Mark Allyn Stewart studied film at Webster University in St. Louis, but his true passion is writing. He is the author of the critically acclaimed "Hand of God" series, which began with his first novel, Against This Vast Army (also available through AuthorHouse).
