Twins are said to share special bonds, understand each other's unspoken communication, speak their own languages, even possess powers of ESP. Their doubleness continues to fascinate the rest of us. Adored or abhorred, sheltered or shunned, twins have universally and perpetually aroused attention and curiosity. It was that fascination that inspired this collection of twin-themed stories. In them you'll find all matter of twins: the good, the bad, the fantastic, the fearsome, the magical, the envious, the secretive, the devious, and more. Being a twin. Fun, right? Think about it. What could go wrong?
From the Foreword by Merry Jones
The Twofer Compendium contains 36 short stories based on the theme of twins, written by 34 international authors. The tales in The Twofer Compendium leap across genres, from science fiction to whimsical, to downright creepy.
What happens when you wake up in the morning - a typical winter's dawn - to find a warm body attached to yours - looking precisely like you?
Only child Maria's parents ground her because they believe she repeatedly misbehaves. But is she the culprit?
Siblings Don and Kylie enter a funhouse on Halloween. The mirrors reveal more than their images and their worlds are turned inside out. Do they both exit? Together? Just the two of them?
Insomniac Luka desperately searches for ways to help him get rest. When he runs across a secret cult that worships Somnus, he believes he's found salvation. What happens when he takes his newfound confidence too far?
Enjoy!
