From acclaimed novelist Richard Corwin comes an unforgettable short story collection. Midnight Gates , Corwin's latest work, brings together stories with unusual, surprising and thought provoking-conclusions - stimulated by odd news and social events, dreams, private or public philosophies, friends and strange thoughts that often drift into Corwin's reflections of past and very personal events. The stories found on this collection stir quite a broth. Some stories have been inspired by other writers who offer a challenge to complete an entertaining short story, to be read before writers groups each month, and later re-written for publication. Every story has its own personality, each following its own path without influence from the others and is different with respect to content and direction. Profound, riveting, and a potent stimulator to the thinker inside us, Midnight Gates is a towering achievement by a master storyteller.
