‘Short Not Sweet’ provides the first glimpse into the dark and sinister imagination of Keith M. Leonard. This collection of 52 chilling micro fiction stories will immerse you in tales of suspense and the macabre. From encounters with vampires, werewolves, and witches to eerie magic and psychological thrillers, each story will leave you a little uneasy, but wanting more. This instalment of the ‘Coffee Fiction Series’ is designed to be read and savoured in small doses, much like a delightful treat enjoyed with your morning brew. But be warned: these stories aren’t always sweet. This is a treat of a different sort for fans of suspense and the unexpected. Grab your favourite brew and prepare to be spooked and stirred!
