Sinopsis

'Denis BellâÇÖs stories are short only in length, in insight, vision, humor and style they have a farseeing distance and depth that will keep you wedded to the page, either laughing, marveling, or scratching your head.'¡¡ David L. Robbins, author, War of the Rats'A thought-provoking collection of flashes and longer stories: poignant, strange, humorous and humane. A Box of Dreams should be opened by all.'¡¡ Peter Blair and Ashley Chantler. Editors for Flash: The International Short:Short Story Magazine'In A Box of Dreams, nothing is as it seems. For the characters caught up in Denis BellâÇÖs intricately interconnected world of flash fictions, up is down. Black is white. Indeed, only one thing is certain: by the time youâÇÖre done with A Box of Dreams, youâÇÖll find yourself looking over your shoulder... These stories are cool as hell.¡¡ Andrew Geyer, Fiction Editor for Concho River Review, author, Lesser Mountains and Whispers in Dust and Bone'Denis Bell and flash fiction represent a marriage made in Heaven. The two dozen short works in his collection, A Box of Dreams, show him working at the top of his game. In each, the readerâÇÖs mind is taken for a weird, wonderful walk thatâÇÖs by turns wryly humorous and darkly intriguing. Louise BrownâÇÖs illustrations lend just the right atmosphere for an absorbing read.'á¡¡ Paul Blaney, Writer in Residence, Rutgers University, author, The AnchoressDenis BellâÇÖs collection of short fictionáA Box of Dreams, 2ndáedition,ácenters itself in the tradition ofáSpoonáRiver Anthology (minus the tombstones)áandáWinesburg, Ohio. A Box of Dreamsáis dark without a trace of cynicism: it invites empathy for even the least attractive of the characters, these protagonists commonly suffer from mangled memories, rightful guilt, and an inability to distinguish between delusion and reality, between past and present.áThe stories tease and tantalize: truth glimmers between the lines.áLouise Freshman BrownâÇÖs gorgeous images are haunting illuminations.¡¡ Miriam N. Kotzin, author, Country Music, Spuyten Duyvil PressEach piece in Denis BellâÇÖs A Box of Dreams is a work of magic that moves steadily along, pulling you in, and not letting you go... The stories are by turns haunting, heartbreaking and funny, and they never fail to surprise... Blending the real with the surreal, these stories, more than anything else, get to the heart of our humanity, our vulnerabilities, and they do so in a way that represents the best in flash fiction.¡¡ Dennis Pahl, Long Island University, Editor for Confrontation Magazine
