POISON IN THE TALE By Noel Keymer

 Poison in the Tale is a set of short stories that leaves one spellbound. With a smooth flow, each story eventually moves to a sharp turn, startling the reader with the unexpected.
 Like the little protagonist in The Boy Who Hated Trains, who whips up a perfect escape plan, little realising that no plan in life can ever be fool-proof.

Or, for that matter, a top bomb disposal expert in The Challenge, who has an unwritten war of egos with his antagonist, the bomber, with each trying to outdo the other.
 And, then, there’s the story of Subedar Subodh Singh, an eager young Jawan, descending from a long line of army men, who has waited all his life to come face to face with The Enemy and to kill him… and what transpires when he actually does.
And, of course, Child’s Play, the tale of a Bedouin girl, Salma, and the ‘poisonous’ tales she spins in the desert.
 Like a scorpion that holds poison in its tail, these stories carry sting in the end; something that will take your breath away, leaving you wondering at the alacrity at which life and its situations jump at you, unannounced.
The fourteen stories have been written in simple, crisp manner to appeal to a wider section of readers.
