These stories are just crying out for a tv series! I would love to watch them.The stories themselves are engrossing and, as they are short stories, perfect for me. I hate the start and stopping of longer fiction works; just frustrating. These are perfect for commuting and fascinating to distract from surroundings (fellow passengers, outside traffic...) Fans of Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Night Gallery, and similar shows, are going to enjoy reading these tales. I loved this book and know others who will also!

Into the Night: Stories Between Darkness and Dawn
by
Mark Tiro

4 Stars

Into the Night is a collection of five great short stories right out of the twilight zone! A ship loaded with Jewish refugees fleeing the holocaust arrives off a beach in Israel, in 1995; a rock star fresh out of rehab meets a strange woman in a bar late at night and finds that he’s met her once before many years ago; a frustrated writer pens a satiric look at how to become a dictator, and gives rise to one; a desperate priest creates an ocean of holy water with disastrous results; and a woman learns the truth about her husband’s death. Rod Serling would have loved these stories!

Discovering “Into the Night” by Mark Tiro is like discovering a gem in your garden. When you start to rub it clean, you know it’s going to be something special and as you get through each layer, you slowly reveal the beauty until it’s shining bright in your hand.

The first story burrows a little into your heart.

The second one works its way to your mind.

The third engulfs and angers the intellect.

The fourth takes over your soul.

And the fifth brings it full circle and leaves you with the feeling that love will always conquer.

Each beautifully crafted story is an entertaining lesson combining love, hope, desperation and a message to strive to be a better humanity.

I loved it!

This was my first read from Mark Tiro and I am hooked! It is hard to review this particular collection without spoilers so I will simply tell you what i felt about Into the Night. These five short stories are thought-provoking, engulfing you in a world of historical fiction, time travel, the supernatural, tragedy, mystery, alternate history, and love. Each story leaves you pondering an array of notions, both realistic and surreal, regarding history, fate, heartbreak, loss, love, hope, consequences and much more. This collection of unique, stand-alone short stories comes together wonderfully and has something for everybody. I personally enjoyed each story, sometimes knowing, at the beginning, what lay ahead for me but others left the meaning/lesson/notion, however you refer to it, for the end making for an enthusiastic read leaving me wanting to reach the final pages and find out what lay beneath the narrative. Mark Tiro did a great job creating fictional adventures that i will be reading multiple times

Five short stories, five points of view involving a bit of science fiction, a bit of psychology and a bit of thriller, all slightly bizarre. Clever though, believable characters in odd settings at times. Good read before bed time but beware, you'll lie awake thinking things through for a while after reading them. Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview Into The Night by Mark Tiro. I just finished Joe HIll's Full Throttle book, which is a book of short stories that have the supernatural/horror twist to some of the novellas. This prepared me for Tiro's book, and I was delightfully pleased because I usually don't go for the short story genre.
I liked all of the stories - some better than others - but all in all, this is good for quick reading and will defintely give the reader some food for thought.
4 stars - recommend.
