Dark Comedies to Brighten Your Mood
Intrigues Among Us by Tony Ivins
Intrigues Among Us puts the reader in a front row seat for the birth of absurd, dark comedy. The collection of stories traces the backstories of folly. In “Arrangement 86,” a psychiatrist thinks he has figured out life’s patterns only to be destroyed by his own murder plot. In another tale, an abused wife turns the tables on her husband. A third story features a woman who dreams of an adventurous life but finds a bittersweet answer to replace her repressed fantasies. In a final narrative, two secret agents gain insights that go beyond their death-defying assignments….Intrigues Among Us comes off as a strangely uplifting collection of stories, unveiling hidden truths that can only be defined as Intrigues.
