Excerpt from A Lapse in Concentration
There wasn’t much that I didn’t know about Daniela French, but, in the end, there’s always something unpredictable that slips past during a field observation. Usually such surprises are insignificant. Sometimes, however, the moment you miss holds the key to something deeper. Something with consequences. Then we have to wonder whether all that we thought we knew is valid. In the context of my current assignment, I would have to admit that my observational skills were at fault. I lost concentration. It happens.

There is nothing predictable about this collection of strange tales.The stories in THIRTEEN: A COLLECTION OF ODD TALES run the gamut from speculative fiction with a scientific edge to Gothic fiction to darkly humorous detective fiction. Nor are Spicer's characters any easier to pin down. They live in ambiguity and don't behave or react in the ways we might expect, like the loving mother in "Angels" whose grief leads her to the unthinkable, or the young lover in "The Visit" who, on a weekend holiday with a fascinating woman, somehow dreams every moment of their getaway before it happens.
A couple of the stories go past "odd" into truly dark places. "Night Caller" had me checking that my windows and doors were locked tight. I couldn't stop squirming as I read "Flashforward". I kept hoping that somehow a last-minute miracle would reverse what we know from page one can never be undone.
Taken as a whole, the tone of the collection is meditative, exploratory. It's almost as if Spicer set each story loose in its own glassed-in habitat and stepped back to see what would happen. What results is a wonderfully imaginative collection that never quite shows you its true face.

Thirteen a collection of odd tales by B A Spicer edition by B A Spicer Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
*A free ecopy was received in exchange for my honest opinion.
This is a collection of short stories that are strange, or give readers an odd, uncomfortable feeling. I enjoyed reading them. Many different genres are included science fiction, fantasy, murder/thriller, dystopia... most of them have something to do with premonition, or a "bad" feeling about what was going to happen, or sometimes it was a person's worst nightmare coming true. All interesting ideas, but I cannot give this book more stars, because even though nothing was wrong with the writing, the plots were clear, and the sense/feeling of the atmosphere was portrayed clearly, the stories did not quite really draw me in deeply enough. Something "magical" that hooks me in was missing.
