Description

Miracles happen all around us—even though we're seldom sufficiently awake to notice them. Sometimes we find our true self in a Mirror. Sometimes a stray bullet defines our future. At other times we wander for ages without being able to define our purpose. Yet, when we find it, reality fills us with Wonder.

Review by: Fred Schäfer on Jan. 25, 2013 :
Stan Law is never boring. Whether you read his fiction, nonfiction or short stories, he is entertaining and thought-provoking. I enjoyed these three stories very much: Mirror, Flash and the Man who couldn’t die. They contain messages, they even made me feel slightly uncomfortable. At the same time I marvelled about the creativity of the author’s mind. Or am I talking about … another mind? That takes me to another topic. Reality… Actually, it is the same topic. There is one topic only. Just ask the MAN WHO COULDN’T DIE. –– Oops. This seems to happen to me every time I read Stan I.S. Law: I get sucked in. But that’s a good thing. Fred Schäfer, author of The Invention of the Big Bang.

The more I read Stan Law, the more I like his style. His literary skill seems matched by his unbridled imagination, tempered by his poetic soul. He plays on our emotions with virtuosity of a seasoned performer.

What a strange mixture of immortality, fragility of life, and limbo, where neither life nor death hold dominion. Stan Law opens our eyes to our true potential.

I’ve read Stan Law’s stories before, and I’m delighted that he finally decided to put them on Smashwords. This fact alone makes them accessible to vast numbers of people, who are bound to find them surprising, on occasion breathtaking, but most of all, in the tradition of the great American short-story writer William Sydney Porter, better known as O Henry, with an unexpected yet unavoidable twist at the end. Well done, Mr. Law.

Review by: Anetta Bach on Aug. 19, 2010 :
In his novels, Stan Law is known to explore the depth and potential of human nature. Here, true to his calling, he shares with us vignettes of his craft, cameo appearances of certain aspects of our makeup that make us human. Of these, the MIRROR shows us that, but for a little effort, the knowledge to discover our true nature lies within us.

FLASH seems to indicate that time is little more than a flexible matrix, which enables us to arrange events in our life into a semblance of order. Yet those special events give our life meaning, which, under normal conditions escape our notice.

A MAN WHO COULDN’T DIE is in a category by itself. It examines the very purpose of life, explores the essence of life and death, leaving us astonished at the simplicity of it all. His perception of human mind and emotions fills me with wonder.
