Author Spotlight | Patrick Graham

In this striking new short story collection from Patrick Graham, every tale begins with a question.

“Life holds countless questions, and never just one answer. Stories explore consequences, poverty, consumerism, memory, betrayal, and everything in between. My work asks us to look at ourselves and at each other. For every question there is an answer. Sometimes it is one you want. Sometimes it is one you fear. Sometimes it is exactly the one you need. Whatever answers you seek, you must keep asking. My stories may give you clarity, or leave you wondering: who, what, where, when, why…?”
– Patrick Graham

These stories challenge curiosity and conscience. They dig into desire, need, fear, decisions, and their aftermath. Each question opens a door. The real puzzle is which answer waits behind it. Your imagination will decide.

“Amazing! Each story invites you into a new weird and wonderful universe. Scary, tense, and creepy, they left me with so many questions.”
