Plan your escape from the hassle of day-to-day reality into a world of fantasy. DETOUR, a compilation of short stories created by author Rick Pascal, lets you take an imaginative voyage journeying into the unknown, and often, surreal world; one replete with surprising twists, unexpected turns, and unpredicted outcomes. Using irony, a touch of the supernatural, science fiction, and an approach often similar to The Twilight Zone, E.A. Poe and O. Henry, Rick's bizarre and eerie stories are a passageway to that escape. His characters display a range of emotions that most of us have experienced or are familiar with; fear, excitement, confusion, love, greed, fanaticism, trust and betrayal...with a hint of humor in the mix. DETOUR offers reading pleasure for wide variety of ages - from teen to adult.
