Of Mice and Wolfmen by Joe Pasquale




Joe Pasquale has given us twelve amazing short stories that are a blast to read. There are so many with twists at the end I didn't see coming. It was usually just the last sentence or two that just threw me for a loop! I enjoyed every single story in this collection, I am ready to read some more!


The Umpire Strikes Back. A hilarious dark story about the afterlife of a man killed. This is a freaking amazing story. It has a major plot twist. I can’t figure out how Pasquale came up with that ending!


The Underwearwolf. Another story with an amazing plot twist at the end. A guy goes to see a new therapist because he thinks he is a werewolf. 


The After Effects of Love. This is a story about the first humans to give the coronavirus vaccination a try. Epic conclusion.


Abracadaver. This story is more mellow than most in the collection, but just as enjoyable. It’s about the afterlife and Houdini.


Granpire. Can vampires have babies? Read this and find out. 


No Regrets. This was a fabulous story. A wicked revenge story


The Spinster. Speed dating gone wrong!! Ha! I will never do one of these.


Annus Horribilis. (The name of these stories, right??) Nostradamus’ prediction of our future!


The Living Room. Literally a fantastic story. A husband in mourning is approached by a weird guy and talks about death.


Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, Where Have You Been? An unusual story about the circle of life.


The Curse of Draclia. No, not Dracula, but Draclia. Draclia isn’t getting the life he wants. He decides to let it all go. 


Velvet Elvis. Elvis lives!! Or does he? Very entertaining story to end the book. 


Joe Pasquale is quite entertaining with his stories. I can imagine having him at the party and having everyone laughing in no time. Only to come back with a plot twist in his stories that will have everyone asking “how?” How did you come up with these, Joe?
