Among the short stories I've read, Death and The Taxman stands apart as one of the tiny few that have felt like an experience rather than just a story. It's unique, fun, well-conceived, with satisfying beats all the way through, and the perfect ending to top it all off. It's no wonder it won Writer's of The Future Vol. 39. 💖
'Death and the Taxman' won the Writers of the Future Contest, the largest talent search for speculative fiction writers in the world. What is more, many high-level professionals in the publishing industry told me it was their favorite story in the bestselling anthology. Read his link here to a free copy and ask yourself when is the last time a story entertained you like this one?
I love well written humor! Death's trouble with all the different doorknobs was hilarious!
This story was amazing. That ending was so satisfying.
A hilarious tale of Death, the Reaper, and what happens when your Tax comes due.
It was a fun, clever story; and while it shouldn't matter, I guess, I just loved the illustration.
Refreshing and fun idea. We need more stories like this.
