You may not believe some of these stories, but I'm a reporter. I'll tell it to you straight. And I'll promise you one thing: after listening to these stories, your life will never be the same." Fantastic Fables of Foster Flat is a collection of suspenseful fantasy tales written in the spirit of Ray Bradbury and The Twilight Zone.
