What is Tales of Tinfoil?It is a dark reimagining of every conspiracy theory that ever lived. It is the JFK assassination, Area 51, the moon landing, the surveillance state. It is a French spy posing as Abraham Lincoln, it is a video game designed by the CIA, it is "Suicide Mickey." It is Adolf Hitler and it is Elvis Presley. In this bizarre and wonderful short story collection, today's top fiction authors pull back the curtain on the biggest conspiracies of all time. Who really killed JFK? What happened in Roswell, New Mexico? Is Elvis still alive? With stories that run the gamut from touching to thrilling to utterly deranged, Tales of Tinfoil will take you on a tour of paranoia you won't soon forget. Twelve short stories, twelve conspiracy theories, twelve twisted rabbit holes. Hold on to your hats.… (altro)

Sometimes I leave more detailed reviews, especially when it comes to anthologies, but I don’t want to sit here and tell you that one story is better than another, or has more meaning, or more truth—and somewhere between these pages there is truth. Some truth. Maybe just a little.

Tales of Tinfoil is an experience to be lived. Or read at least, because you probably don’t want to live most of these stories. Especially the last one with the crazy Doc Midnite. And although they couldn’t come out and state these things as factual, they did gave us some warnings. Staying away from pinball machines is an easy one. I’ve seen Tommy, and if you think the Pinball Wizard is someone to be leery of, then you obviously haven’t read the truth between the lines that is Tales of Tinfoil. History isn’t what we think it is, and four score and some odd years ago the President Lincoln who appeared on Star Trek was more real than the phony who gave us the Gettysburg Address.

The one story that everyone is raving about is Under the Grassy Knoll. My question is, why should this come as a surprise to us? Watch some late night cable, and learn these things before the history books get revised yet again. As for the Octopus, well, I’m still not allowed to talk about it. But you can get the book and see for yourself.

Regarding Elvis, Dolores is on the right track, folks. But you knew that all along, didn’t you?

No doubt this anthology is so entertaining that we need to keep passing the word so folks will read it. And soon. Before “they” find out and remove it. I definitely look forward to the other promised entries of this series of educational “tales.” Especially the one on so-called “hoaxes.” Will Bigfoot be in it? If not, I suspect a cover-up of some sort. For years we were shown that grainy film, then they came right out and admitted the truth that he not only exists, but came from outer space, only to be confronted by The Six Million Dollar Man.

If you never thought you’d live long enough to find out the answers to some of life’s questions, or if you’ve never questioned things and always wondered why, or if you just want to be completely entertained for a few hours, now you know that all the answers are waiting for you between the pages of Tales of Tinfoil.
