Eventual Beginnings: Stories Short and Longer is Joe DeRouen’s second short story collection and contains sixteen all-new tales of magic, mayhem, and mystery. In the novella Connections, we’ll explore the mystery of Justy Friedman’s unexplainable possession by a spirit, and Emmet Sapp’s attempt to save her. In Next Time is Now, we’ll encounter Peter and Marnie and witness their attempts to circumvent a centuries-old curse, while in Beautiful Monster, we’ll see why sometimes looks can be deceiving. In Alternate Life, a young man is given the chance to right a wrong that hasn’t happened yet, and in Forks we’ll learn why it’s often best to leave the past in the past and move on. These are just a few of the tales that await you in Eventual Beginnings: Stories Short and Longer.
