The Binge-Watching Cure is an anthology of short stories of increasing size. The first story is mere Twitter sized, short enough for anyone with even the greatest phobia about reading fiction again to read. The next story is 100 words. Then 500, then longer, all the way to novella length. By the time you've finished reading The Binge-Watching Cure, you'll be able to tackle Joyce and Pynchon.

More DescriptionThe Binge-Watching Cure is an anthology of short stories of increasing size. The first story is mere Twitter sized, short enough for anyone with even the greatest phobia about reading fiction again to read. The next story is 100 words. Then 500, then longer, all the way to novella length. By the time you've finished reading The Binge-Watching Cure, you'll be able to tackle Joyce and Pynchon. Or at a minimum, you'll enjoy novels you hear about from friends and family. The Binge-Watching Cure will reignite your love for reading; it will better your life.And you know what? These are great stories, spanning a diversity of genres including romance, science fiction, crime, spiritual, horror, literary and more. We spent a year looking for exciting, beautifully written, enthralling stories. We know you're going to enjoy them.A husband and wife face a cancer diagnosis with mixed reactions; a catastrophic train wreck gives a circus troupe (and their tiger) baffling powers; a death-obsessed couple are willed the cremated remains of a complete stranger and must discover why. In this eclectic collection, you'll witness: a First Sergeant come face to face with the horrors of war, a couple's role-playing night-on-the-town, a post-apocalyptic thriller, a philosophy on cat ownership, and a young woman with seven days to live out a lifetime of love. Just as you enter a cold swimming pool one body part at a time, get used to drinking beer sip by foamy sip, or learn to enjoy spicy food in little, fiery nibbles, The Binge-Watching Cure gradually acclimates you to reading longer and longer stories, until a novel-length book goes down smoothly, tasting sweet, and making you want more.
