This is a collection of 10 short stories inspired by true stories, somewhat true stories and stories that we wish were true. From urban legend to folk tale to current events, each story has an actual incident at the heart of it. The titular “Seven Sacks” is also based on the author’s family history.

How true is each story? You decide.
