| LUCKY THIRTEEN is a collection of thirteen short stories all
written by Susanne Marie Knight. True to the book's name, the stories
are delightful. Ms. Knight exhibits a playful streak with stories
reminiscent of those showcased in the old television series The Night
Gallery and The Outer Limits. There is a surprising twist at the end
that causes one to reconsider one's views on a particular subject,
views which suddenly seem archaic or cavalier in light of Ms. Knight's
story. Other stories serve to point out that things are often not as
they seem to be. LUCKY THIRTEEN is as its title declares, THIRTEEN
DELIGHTFUL STORIES FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE. They truly are a
pleasure to read. The stories are:
