Her Demonic Angel and Other Short Stories

Not enough time to read a whole book? Her demonic Angel is a collection of fourteen of my short stories. They’re written in a variety of genres, so there should be something for everyone to enjoy. Another fourteen stories are in my Caravan of Nightmares and Other Short Stories, published in 2025. I’m currently writing a third collection called Betty Boo Boo and Other Short Stories.

Here are some of the stories in Her Demonic Angel: Mirror, mirror; The boy they called Dragon; The day nobody gave a damn; An email from Jane; Stuff; Getting rid of the enemy; Skin; Too beautiful; Philately will get you nowhere; In memoriam.

“If you haven’t read any of this author’s other books, this is a great way to give readers a peek into a wonderful writer’s vivid mind.” “Dark and edgy.” “Joy is a born storyteller.”
“Wonderfully strange and dark tales with intriguing settings in various genres.”

Available in paperback and Kindle editions on Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Apple Books. An audiobook narrated by the author is on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.
