Historical Inaccuracies. Pop quiz: Are you sure?

About the author

Zig Zag Claybourne (also known as C.E. Young) wishes he’d grown up with the powers of either Gary Mitchell or Charlie X but without the Kirk confrontations. (Anybody not getting that Star Trek reference gets their sci fi cred docked 3 points.)

Reviews

[Wendy Babiak · Rating 5 out of 5]

By turns terrifying, hilarious, heartbreaking and confusing, the stories in this slender but potent offering will put you in the company of an entertaining, wise and silly presence that is trying to tell you something you may not be ready to hear. Strong medicine for what ails us.

Like 60-70% of this is pure gold. There were a couple that didn’t grab me but the ones that did were fabulous.

[Doug Sturtevant · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really fantastic and eclectic collection of stories. They run the gamut from funny and whimsical to dark and poignant, and any combination thereof, with a healthy dose of weird for good measure. Every one is vivid and engaging and powerfully written. Truly enjoyable. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

[Tony Stark · Rating 4 out of 5]

Vivid tales from this well-spoken author. The stories read like lucid dreams that grab and engage the reader with imagery and plot that stick long after the book is finished. Impressive collection and well worth the read.

One of the best anthologies I've ever read. Historical Inaccuracies runs the gamut from the hilarious to the heart-wrenching, and keeps the reader engaged long after the final page is turned.
