Product Description

Mayhem is a collection of stories that examines a darker side of people. Violence and repairs floe from a preference and greeting of typical people faced with conditions they could not imagine.

R. Thomas Brown does not broach illusory frenzy awash with blood. we wouldn’t wish to spoil details, though for one thing his sentences are not stocked with physique parts. Rather, this baffling stories arise and tumble on still wings. - Connie Pheobe

Brown demonstrates conspicuous operation in these stories. “Skinner’s Child” takes place in dystopian future, where prisoners are reprogrammed to play by a rules. “A Cheap Babysitter” is a story of still desperation, and “A Serendipitous Stumble” is a pointy and humorous PI story. - Chris Rhatigan

5Life Lessons


By A. J. Hayes


The pretension here is a bit misleading. Mayhem implies purposeless assault of inauspicious effect and there is nothing of that in this book. Every apart act has a transparent and ideally distinct aim. Rather than drifting chaos, any story illustrates a need for fortify in these pointless times. Every word leads a reader toward a certain bargain that existence is unsafe and, during best, fleeting. A clarity that in today's electronically disassociated, waste multitude a bit of color, probity and appreciation for any changed impulse that surrounds us is paramount. The people executive to a stories here have famous that need and perform it to a really best of their substantial abilities with each apparatus -- sharp, blunt or bomb -- they have on hand. Every story here has a transparent dignified perspective and a fervour of purpose that is roughly blinding in a brilliance. Each of these tales could have been told by Aesop, Du Maupassant, Socrates, Plato or any of a classical story tellers of a world's stately past . . . that is, if those mythological tellers of tales resided in a (BLEEPING) PSYCHO WARD!
So, peaceful reader, close a ALL a doors, make certain a alarm complement is on, lay back, open a book and . . . many of all remember: that male stealing behind a bedroom screen ain't a Wizard Of Oz, Baby.
Enjoy a read. we did.

5A excellent craftsman of stories


By Christopher Rhatigan


Mayhem facilities stories of complicated crime. Brown demonstrates conspicuous operation in these stories. "Skinner's Child" takes place in dystopian future, where prisoners are reprogrammed to play by a rules. "A Cheap Babysitter" is a story of still desperation, and "A Serendipitous Stumble" is a pointy and humorous PI story.

His stories tend to be delayed burns, infrequently embracing and other times shedding a conventions of noir. Brown is a balanced, smart, mature author and this is a really excellent collection.

5Running a gamut


By J. A. Fielder


For those who suffer brief fiction, this collection runs a progression from horror, to mystery, to noir, to only plain weird.

I've been a fan of Brown's work for years, and have had a pleasure of reading some of his early works before to him removing published. It's engaging to see his expansion as a author within this robust collection of shorts. Most are only a few pages, that creates for possibly a fun diversion, or, if you're like me, excited nights saying, "OK, only one some-more before bed."

It's a good collection with a small bit of something for many brief stories enthusiasts.
