Many different styles and themes to enjoy
I absolutely loved this collection of short stories. The inclusion of the different types of stories is what really won me over. I loved that one story would leave me feeling light and happy and the next would give me chills. I also enjoyed the brief synopsis before each story. Getting a look into the authors mind was just as entertaining as each of the stories. Its hard to say which ONE story was my favorite but top 3 would have to be
The Power of Belief
Belle of the Ball
Blink
Would definitely recommend giving this one a read!

Little Book of Tiny Tales is a collection of micro-stories written by Jeremy Ray: they are very short, but they all deliver! Before each story, the author explains in a couple of lines where he found the inspiration or the feedback he received from his readers. These stories in fact where micro-presents that the author previously sent in his newsletter. This collection is really good, some stories have the potential to become novellas, and I overall really enjoyed it.
A quick read, beautiful!

Another bite sized delight from Jeremy Ray that had me hooked from start to finish. Amusing, original tales so tiny you'll never know when you wolfed them all. Enjoyed it thoroughly!
Jeremy Ray is one of my fave short story writers. This anthology of teeny tiny fiction (less than 100 words per story) is just the sort of thing my brain needs sometimes - short, punchy stories that either make me cry, laugh or cringe in horror or in awkwardness. Whether an 80 year old murderer tickles your fancy or a paralysis victim blinking is more your vibe, this collection has a little bit for everyone.
In no particular order these are some of my fave ones and cryptic micro-comments
"The Stepdad": by page 7 I was crying
"The Bookmark": oh my heart, how few words can pack such a big punch
"Love at First Sight": bless, this literally made me laugh out loud
"Blink": this one gave me a chill (inspired by a true story)
"Song of the Maze": awwwwww more tears for me
"High School Reunion": cheers, Ally, I understand
"Milk Carton": Ray really is the master of creep
"Heads or Tails": may we all raise Carol's <--- this was probably my favourite
"BROCK HUDSON was in MY KITCHEN!": cringe, done something like this before

Whether you are a fan of micro stories, poems, horror stories, or just a fan of Jeremy Ray. You will absolutely enjoy this collection of micro stories. I can't pick a favorite as each one is different and great. While, I could have read this book in a matter of an hour; I actually took about four days to read this collection. This is because I wanted to savor every story.
There are some stories that were born from Jeremy's dreams/nightmares. Which may just give you nightmares of your own. If you were to ask the great storytellers...Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Clive Barker to name a few; I bet they would share the same type of nightmares. Yes, I just put Jeremy in the same category as these power houses. Jeremy Ray is an auto buy/auto read author for me.

If you are looking for a short and easy book to read, this one is for you. Little Book of Tiny Tales is an anthology of flash fiction. It has 56 micro tales of less than hundred words. I flew through the book in an hour. It was really fun to read. I loved the way the stories were structured so there was a punch in the end.
Some of the stories had characters which appeared in the latter micro tales as well. It was like savouring a variety of genres and characters all at once. I'm a huge fan of Jeremy Ray ever since I read The House Plant and I always look forward to his new books.
This book will give you the spooks, the tears and everything in between. Pick this up when you have a short break with a cup of coffee and you are set.
A wonderful book full of little lines that will keep you thinking.
The book has 56 mini-stories, each just a page long and accompanied by a photo and the reason for writing them.
I was blown away by how much impact a few short lines had on my psyche.
I found myself laughing at "The Power of Belief", which really shouldn't be funny at all

Super short stories with a depth of feeling
This Little Book of Tiny Tales Is deceptive. It consists of short stories, barely a page long, but each story sets a scene and hints at more depth than their brief word count portrays. Its a enjoyable diversion for those moments you have but a moment to read.
