Still Hungry: Tales from the Shadows

by Bob Reiss

Overview

Still Hungry: Tales From the Shadows

A waitress faced with the most terrifying customer she's ever encountered. A bully who meets the world's shyest supernatural creature. A biologist summoned to a military base where a strange phenomenon is occurring. A global leader trapped 28,000 feet above earth.

Best selling novelist and world class story teller Bob Reiss has been a lifelong fan of the original Twilight Zone TV series. Here he presents his first short story collection; odd tales of eight characters resembling people we've all met in real life, but who are faced with choices we would never want to have to make, and consequences going far beyond those choices.

A teenage boy's journey during the last six hours before the United States splits into two countries. A Fireman who stays dedicated to his mission no matter what. The public relations specialist ordered to explain something disturbing to reporters. The top model who lives to be photographed, and what happens because of that.

In "Still Hungry, Tales From the Shadows," the real and unreal merge, impossible doesn't exist. We travel the border where order meets anarchy. The only limit to what will happen next are the words, "What if..."

About the Author

Bob Reiss is a Washington Post best selling author and journalist, a former Chicago Tribune reporter, and former correspondent for Outside magazine. His work has also appeared in the "Washington Post Magazine," "Smithsonian," "Parade," "Rolling Stone," "Newsweek," "Fortune." and other national publications. Much of his thriller fiction is based on his travels as a journalist in remote corners of the Earth; the Arctic, the Amazon rainforest, and trouble spots in Africa. Bob has been a guest on "Good Morning America," "Morning Joe," Nightline," "CNN," "Al Jazeera" and on public radio, discussing his work. "I've always been fascinated by the border between order and anarchy," he says. "In my non-fiction I explore it in our real world. In the fiction, I can speculate what might happen to us in the future."

Bob was the winner of a New York Press Club 2018 "best reporting" award for his coverage of the state and fate of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the Trump era. He's been a finalist for the National Magazine Award.

Under the name of James Abel, Bob is author of the acclaimed series of thriller novels starring bio-terror expert and former Marine Joe Rush. "White Plague" starts the series. Under his other pseudonym, Ethan Black, Bob penned a five novel series about a New York City detective whose cop family reaches back to Colonial times. The first novel in that series is "The Broken Hearts Club."

Bob's newest book, a collection of short stories titled "Still Hungry, Tales From the Shadows," will be published in September 2022 as an e book.

Six of Bob's books have been optioned for film.
