Jason Crager's third collection. Thirteen entertaining fictional short stories covering a variety of widely diverse topics.
This collection of short stories by Jason Crager features a wonderful variety of his earlier writings brought together in the same book for the first time. The tales are imaginative, often realistic, sometimes quirky and always finely crafted, putting the author's many unique writing styles on full display in a book that is sure to entertain all fans of short fiction. Boxcar Tales includes all of Jason Crager's stories that were previously published in volumes one through six of The Ronin Express literary journals as well as a closing story, written specifically for this collection, that gives a brief glimpse into Jason's version of what could have happened to the suspect in one of America's most famous, unsolved hijacking cases. Of special interest in this collection are two stories that represent both some of Jason Crager's most highly acclaimed works, and his most criticized: "Leaving a Mark" and "Baddest on the Yard".
'Coruscated Confabulations' is a collection of stories and experiences, most of which took place in prior decades. They are taken from or based upon real events, with a certain admixture of fictional embellishments.
My second book is about a boy who has Asperger's Syndrome and is bullied to the point to where he shoots up his school. I have divided the excerpts from it into three parts: Before, during and after the shooting.
