Beyond the Fence

<p><strong>I'd recommend <em>Beyond the Fence: A Short Collection of Stories</em> to anyone who enjoys flash fiction.</strong></p><p>-<em>Long and Short Reviews</em></p><p>The worlds in Marilyn Horn's stories are sometimes dark sometimes surreal and sometimes both-and yet not so unfamiliar. No matter how fantastic the world loneliness is the enemy connection the goal.</p><p>Within these pages a brother and sister look to the cosmos for answers as death makes its steady approach. A monster longs to destroy the evil he sees beyond his attic window. An outcast dolphin finds her place spinning tales of hope and inspiration. A woman forced back home plunges into old magic to save a dog's life. A lone survivor creates a new world with the only thing the dead have left behind. A mother awaits her son's return but finds her one ally has lost all hope. A soul languishing in heaven prays his soul mate won't find another reason to stay on Earth. And in the title story a seed seller vows to save at least one lonely soul from an eternity beyond the fence. </p>
