More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
15 short stories inspired by the literature of Franz Kafka, Jorge Luis Borges and the radio plays of Arch Oboler. Meet the psychiatrist who has too much in common with his patient; the two strangers whose paths were meant to cross repeatedly; the detective hired to find a missing writer who then finds himself in a world of fiction; the stuffed human being possessing a consciousness no one perceives; the professor and the student who exchange roles on a psychic level; the Florida retiree who suspects his wife and friends to be products of his imagination; the director who realizes he is trapped in the nightmarish reality of his latest film, and the short story writer whose life is threatened by the characters he has invented. Pieces & Stems is a surrealistic journey from which your mind may never recover.

O'Rourke is a genius in my book!, 18 Dec 2011
By Louis Mauro - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pieces & Stems (Paperback)
Best read I've had in a long while. I don't usually write reviews here on amazon but this collection of short stories is so good, I felt compelled. Dark and twisted at times, yet always peppered with the correct amount of levity. O'Rourke has given us a true collection of assorted gems and I can't recommend this book enough. ~ Lou M.

By Andy Turits - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pieces & Stems (Paperback)
Pieces & Stems is a collection of mind-bending short stories with colorful character/narrators. The plot twists are sometimes subtle but often are not what you've been led to believe until you arrive there...check it out. 15 stories that will leave you questioning your own reality.

This is a collection of short stories that are a sheer delight! It grabs your attention immediately and keeps it throughout each and every story. It is full of interesting and creative characters. Each very unique story is as compelling and thought provoking as the next. Bravo!!!
