The book starts with Creep-tacular, which is about vampires. It's an interesting read, but a little strange. I wasn't too sure how I felt about it. I'm not normally a huge fan of vampire stories, so it was just an ok read to me.
Then we have A Clockwork Bride, which is kind of crazy. I really enjoyed this story, and I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't say anything more.
The third story, Shadow Walkers, is a little bit sci-fi in a way. At least that was how I viewed it. I also liked this story.
Lastly, we have Murder By Comic Book. It wasn't quite what I expected it to be, but it was still my favorite story of the four. It's a murder mystery that anyone can enjoy. I found it fun to try and figure out what was really going on and why.
Overall, not a bad collection of stories. If you're into steampunk, fantasy, or a mash-up of genres, then check out A Confabulated Compendium of Anecdotes. You won't be disappointed.
I rate it four stars.
Writing has always been a hobby and cathartic experience for me. Turning my passion into
a fulfilling career as an Author has been one of my greatest dreams.
I write because creating something that didn't exist before is as
close to magic as I'll ever get. All you need is imagination.

I’ve always been passionate about storytelling and impressed by the
influence it has on people and the decisions they make in life. I
love engaging with the projects I work on, diving headfirst into the
research, investigation, and production of stories I feel are worth
writing about. I am a curious and proactive Author, interested in
preserving the foundations set by classical literature by adapting
them to modern themes and trends.
