"Truly chilling, Flynn's stories will stick with you long after reading"—Matthew Hutton, The Scare Room Podcast A Bunch of Fives smacks you straight in the face with a mighty handful of horror fiction. It packs a punch with five hard-hitting short stories, all of which will leave you stunned and dizzy in a delirious stupor. Within these knuckled pages you will find a professional hitman taking on more than he bargained for, a strange creature roaming a Vietnamese island, a nymphomaniac in the midst of a breakdown, a futuristic society obsessed with social media, and much more. From round one to round five, you will be taken on a disturbing journey that will unnerve you, thrill you, and force you to question your very existence. A Bunch of Fives should be approached with caution—it’s a knockout! "Creepy and mystifying, Flynn's weird tales make for a disturbing late-night read"—Regina's Haunted Library "You will walk away terrified, gobsmacked, and much more!—Erica Robyn Reads "As someone who reads in a multitude of genres, it was an absolute delight to discover author James Flynn and his art of storytelling. Many of his stories contain a blend of genres that made each story unique unto itself. Flynn has perfected the ability to snare you on the first page of the story, bringing you to the edge of your seat, heart pounding and keeping you perched there until you reach the end"—Lezlie Smith, The Nerdy Narrative
