Florida. The very name brings to mind coconut palms and theme parks. It's a land of sunshine, sugar-sand beaches, and glittering hotels, a perpetual vacation for all those fortunate enough to live there. Or is it? Florida has a dark side most visitors never see. In mysterious places, far from the Interstate highway's hum, nefarious souls commit trickery, assault, and even murder. Folks aren't always who they seem to be, and the innocent sometimes fall victim to the heartless, the depraved, and the mentally disturbed. "Troubling Tales from Florida" offers six short stories and a novella, "Man-O-War Cay". These narratives will chill your spine and haunt your dreams, long after you've put this anthology down.
