Best Thriller 2008
"The Family Bones was what The Twilight Zone would probably be like today. One that is precedent of movies like The Amityville Horror, and then, after a few days and a few chapters in, knocks your socks off with a science fiction-based agenda reminiscent of Species."
- Lawrence R. Dagstine, author of FRESH BLOOD (2009 Sam's Dot Publishing)

"The AmericanPerspective"
Books do not come any cooler and entertaining as this one., By P. S. Gifford -Acclaimed Horror author
Only 2-3 times a year do I encounter a book that I can not put down and read it through the night in one session. This is the second book in the last few weeks that has had prompted that remarkable reaction (The other book is Alicia Benson's- The First Vampire.)
This book is a true page turner (yes I know that is a tired cliché- but in this case it is absolutely true!)
It is stylistically very well written. Without giving anything away "The Family Bones," manages to entwine more than one genre with the exquisite precision of a master storyteller.
This is a book that you wont read just once- but several times and enjoy it just as much- and perhaps even more- the more familiar with it you become. Yes - it is THAT good.
Outstanding!
~P.S. Gifford

The short story is hard enough to write. Even more difficult is the short short story. Raiser is a master of both types as evidenced in "Stranded." There are generous doses of tales of sf, fantasy, and horror. Her writings have appeared all over the Internet. This is the first time they have appeared together in one collection. Some of the pieces are dark and sinister while others are very funny. Many of them are in the realm of the "Twilight Zone.

Review: Stranded: Stories From The Edge of Infinity…

It takes only a few short stories to be captivated and drawn in by the impressive range and styles of Kimberly Raiser´s anthology of writings that are crafted in a variety of venues which are included in her first short story collection, Stranded: Stories From The Edge of Infinity…
As mentioned in the Author´s Note, some of these twenty-one stories are short "Flash" pieces, some are longer wherein they border on the sillier side of humanity and others thought provoking. Their topics range from science fiction, speculative fiction, horror, and some children´s tales. Individually, all have previously appeared in various online sites and print publications and now have been recycled in Stranded: Stories From The Edge of Infinity…
The language of these playful, highly evocative, sometimes quirky stories is to the point and quite original.
What I found exciting about some of these stories is that although at first they seem to be meaningless or frivolous, the more I re-read them the more I was able to relate to them and be drawn in by their vibrant portraits and philosophical musings.
For example, It Comes In Your Sleep the story about the little boy who fought sleep brought back my own memories of my daughter and now my grandson, particularly the last two lines: "Looks like he finally gave in sweetie. Yeah thank goodness, we can all get some sleep now."
Other stories showed a great deal of wisdom as One Minute where Raiser begins with "What would happen if I delayed every deliberate action by exactly one minute? How much of a difference would it make?"
In addition, Raiser has effectively mastered the short story form as well as two of its essential elements with her meticulous concentration on language and imagery.
Her wit and soul-searching reflections are in fine form throughout the stories and while she may be quite comical at times, she steers away from slapstick.
This is particularly in evidence with the story of A Little Town Called Plink where she is hilarious when dealing with the topic of flatulence. This is likewise apparent with The Machine Of Humanity that is summed up in the introduction to the story with the insightful words "What are we but the sum of our memories? Is there truly anything more than this?"
Another gem and one that shows a great deal of introspection concerning our environment is Man Upon A Rock where Raiser introduces the story with "A man sits quietly alone contemplating the universe. He has a funny commentary beneath him."
Stranded: Stories From The Edge of Infinity… is a noteworthy collection of sometimes punchy, off kilter short stories and a downright enthralling read that will provide hours of reading pleasures. And as with most short story collections, the advantage it has over a novel is that if you don´t like one story you can always flip to another. With that in mind, Raiser provides her readers with a great smorgasbord of tales that will satisfy most everyone´s tastes.

It is written th
It is written that the original lost colony of Roanoke merged with members of the Croatoans. These relationships were condemned by the Shaman of the Croatoan and these people were cursed, and their descendents would be cursed and would awake to battle upon the 25th generation.
Upon the awakening, the Children of Roen would find themselves unique to their neighbors and a battle would ensue between two groups of descendents.
A path of darkness would lead one group. Neither good, nor evil would prevail, only the strongest. The wake of tragedy they were to leave behind would be their punishment, and all that remained would condemn them. Immortality would be their curse.
