The stories ranged so wildly from the possible to the fanatically unbelievable, and yet it was all so cleverly written to make me feel as though I were a fly on the proverbial wall. I can't wait to reread it!”Michael rates Inside My Mind: Volume I 5/5 Stars“I have initially bought this as a Kindle book but after reading it have decided to purchase the paperback for my collection. The stories vary in length however none are too long and some are literally a couple of pages. I was planning to read the book on the bus travelling to work but after reading the first story The End of the World I found myself finishing the entire book in a day.” Douglas Owen is a writer of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Y/A fiction.
