Short Stories at Last - Daniels Hoyt Daniels - Bog

Mr. Daniels's stories are invariably beautifully written fictional glimpses into the humorous, and sometimes sad, realities of the way people think and behave. Many of his stories are simply hilarious anecdotes addressing the problems that goofy people, nice people, and even nasty people, sometimes bring upon themselves, and the amusing results that may ensue when they try to extricate themselves from their difficulties. Most have a surprise ending in the style of 0 Henry or Maupassant. Some are sarcastic and even grim as Fate tangles with human emotions and desires. His stories cover a broad range of subjects, including murder, war, international intrigue, hypocrisy, fidelity, cleverness and stupidity, and of course love -­the pain and anguish of unrequited love as well as the joy of true love that occasionally lasts happily ever after.
