Product Description
Who Am I? Well, I am the Imaginary Friend. You know-the one you conjure up for conversation when you're consumed with loneliness, greed or visions of imminent doom. I have listened to thousands of stories and it would be a shame if they just stayed with me, never to be heard again. I have chosen to share only the ones I found to be particularly... curious. Have you ever been troubled by nightmares? Were you relieved when you woke up? No matter. Are you sure you can tell the difference between the nightmare and the waking state? Think it through before giving me your answer. Sometimes only an imaginary friend can truly listen to your deepest troubles and most distressing woes. Wouldn't you agree?

The Curious Accounts of the Imaginary Friend
As a collector of first editon crime and horror books, this one rates among the top of the list. This new writer is at the infant stage of a budding career that has no end. He is full of imagination, therefore the title fits the contents perfectly. It is rare for me to review a book, but in this case it is a must. My congratulations for a job well done and my best wishes to you and your career. Your book sits amongst several thousand books in my library. A terrific read.
Scary Tales at Their Best!
Remember how much those old episodes of Twilight Zone and Tales From the Darkside scared you? Back when horror wasn't all gore, shock and brutally bloody? Times when you could read a story that would make you look over your shoulder to make sure the eyes you felt staring at you weren't really there? The Curious Accounts of the Imaginary Friend will put you back in that era of quality chills and terror without blood soaked walls, profanity and gratuitous gore.
P.S. Gifford has mastered the short story, every story inside is evidence to the fact. While reading you will feel a calm come over you as you realize you've figured out the end of the story; however, the now infamous "Gifford Twist" will come out of nowhere and leave your head spinning in wonderment. The strangest, most curious things can be found in the simplest, most mundane of situations - beware, man is capable of concealing much darkness in their souls.
Above all the next time you hear something go bump in the night, you will be less afraid and more curious to discover the darkness within. One day you too might get to relay a story to the Imaginary Friend.
Warped and Witty
P.S. Gifford brings a breath of fresh air to horror with suspense, adventure, gore, and knee slapping laughter. Brilliantly written! Be on the lookout for this author in the future, and know you were here for the beginning.
All my best to Paul,,,,,,,,,,,,,Kimberly Raiser
