Julie Ann Weinstein
Flashes from the Other World is a deliciously hard to describe snapshot of the quirky, and offbeat magic realism of Julie Weinstein. In this story collection relationships are presented with a tender wackiness. Tossed into the mix are mischievous ghosts (most of which are like well meaning relatives) which give the talking plants and even the seductive and vocal grains of sand a run for their money. One thing for sure in Flashes from the Other World is it’s a not-to-be-forgotten, off-the-wall delightful series of mini trips filled with characters that touch the heart, even if they tug at the funny bone first.

A short review from me ALoN DaviD
Flashes From The Other World is a wonderful read. The short stories simply lure you in and open up a whole new world. Julie Ann Weinstein’s short stories are flash fiction at its best. So many twist and turns, dreams and amazing characters that echo long after the book is closed. All these components are so wonderfully tied together. A fantastic read for any fiction fan.
