Real-life crime reporter Mark LaFlamme has received a clean sweep of eight straight 5-star reader reviews for Box of Lies, his collection of over two dozen stories terrifying enough to raise the hairs on the back of our necks, yet familiar enough that they could have come from our own dream lives….

Here’s the set-up:

Peek inside and thrill to discover:

Men and women forced to march for their daily bread.
A crazy lady who frets over pennies on the sidewalk.
A professor learns we all may be works of fiction. Cannibals hang out over pitchers of beer. And one man knows the answers to the grandest mysteries of them all.

From award-winning Maine author Mark LaFlamme, 27 stories that have been keeping readers up at night.

“LaFlamme writes a well-paced, descriptive, riveting narrative you will not want to put down,” writes reviewer Tracee Gleichner.

A man falls in love with a machine. A mind-reader wishes the human soul had a mute button. And a visiting extraterrestrial finds human nature detestable – until he is hopelessly charmed by a simple game.

Mesmerizing tales from a masterful storyteller.

“Like Dean Koontz, John Saul and Stephen King combined,” says author Betty Dravis. “Yes, LaFlamme is THAT good!”

Book of LIes includes 27 disturbing tales that question the world around us, each more unsettling than the last:

And the grandest secrets of them all may await in the grave.
