Review of Tales from the Gray Area

[Following is a volunteer review of "Tales from the Gray Area" by Curtis Stephen Burdick.]
Tales from the Gray Area by Curtis Stephen Burdick is a collection of seven fictional stories, each one of them taking the reader into a new realm of fiction. These science-fiction stories make the reader think about the supernatural.
The stories deal with supernatural realms like heaven and hell. They also mention entities such as aliens, demons, and gods. The first novella is about an ancient undeciphered language and reincarnations. The next story is about sea creatures who are a danger to the human species. The next is about the Lord of Hell and his rivalry with God. The next is about the discovery of remains of ancient species and how people worked hard to save their town’s ancient remains. Next comes a story about magical girls in a family and their wish to run away from their family to live a peaceful life. The last two stories are about aliens and their visits to Earth.
Will the team be able to undecipher the language and to know what the prophecies mean? Will humans be saved from extinction by sea monsters? What made hell-lord so angry at god? Will the town be saved? Why did the aliens visit our planet? Read the book to find the answers to all these questions.
The author has done an amazing job describing the different characters. Though the book is a work of fiction, I could visualize the various emotions of the characters. The love, suspense, agony – everything felt surreal. The author’s knowledge about the culture and practices in different countries made me even more interested in the book. The story had a lot of twists and turns which increased my interest in the book. Each chapter created more interest in the story, and I was hooked to the story until the very last.
The story was interesting, but each one of the stories felt incomplete. I would have liked the book better if the stories were longer. There were a few extra indents, but that didn’t affect my reading that much because they were not frequent. Other than that, I could not find any noticeable flaws in the book.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. The book was exceptionally well-edited as I found no errors in the book. I would recommend this book to people who are fans of fiction and are interested in out-of-the-box supernatural stories. This book is a must-read for people who have an interest in archaeology. But the book has instances of deaths, so I would not recommend this book to people sensitive to it.
