Twisted And Untwisted Tales by Mari Collier

This collection from author Mari Collier contains sixteen short tales, ranging from the ancient past to our own era and into the far future.

In the past, a man learns of his twin's demise and receives a dire warning. In modern times, a widow learns her beloved daughter has rejected something they both once held dear. In another contemporary story, a young lady struggles to bake a Plain Cake that her grandmother will accept.

The futuristic tales contain a short story from the planet Dunbar, now inhabited by an alien race called Thalians. In another tale, archaeologists visit a shattered Earth to discover a Woman in White, who has waited centuries for them.

Not all of the stories will have a twisted ending, but you can still expect a surprise at the end.
