About this ebook
Ripley King's Burnt Offerings is a collection of twenty short stories bridged together by a larger narrative, a mosaic novel unlike any other.
"I thought this novel would work out well if I could find the perfect vehicle to drive my character's interactions. Would a mental ward patient do?"
From Native American legend to urban detective. Science fiction, magic and love, alongside vampires, barbarians, presidents, elves, and (walking talking) toys.
"Burnt Offerings" is one of those stories that keeps you wondering at every turn. There are many different characters, and the ultimate question is the definition of reality and what encompasses the truth. An interesting look into the life of an angel seeking the unanswered questions of life. — Jason M.
