Product Description

In this dark, suspenseful and somewhat comical look at one man's desires, Remote Control, a novelette by bestselling author Cheryl Kaye Tardif delivers a strong message: Be careful what you wish for!

Meet Harold Fielding--plumber by part of the day, slacker/tv addict the rest of the day and night. Harry believes that fame and fortune will come to him if he wishes hard enough. God forbid if he should actually work for it.

Beatrice Fielding is Harry's hardworking wife. She holds down multiple jobs so her husband can laze about on his recliner, eating popcorn and drinking cola while watching his favorite shows. She has many wishes--some aren't so nice.

Zur "John" (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Remote Control (Kindle Edition) If you like some of Stephen King's quirky short stories or twilight zone episodes, you will really enjoy this short story from Cheryl Kaye Tardif. It will definitely put a smile on your face. I look forward to Cheryl's new book of similar short stories, entitled "Skeletons in the Closet and other creepy stories".

This is a good thing. :) Cheryl Kaye Tardif has done a fantastic job of characterizing both Harold and his wife, Bea. If you have a lunch-break or just need a quick read before you call it quits for the night... I definitely recommend this short. It's the first piece I've read by her, but I'll be looking for more very shortly. :) Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  Report abuse | Permalink   Comment 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful Awesome!, October 25, 2010 By  Lauralynn Elliott - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Remote Control (Kindle Edition) I bought this book on a whim, knowing it was really short, but I had loved the other two books I had read by this author. Oh my, is this one totally different from those books! The good news is that it is very much like something Stephen King would write. It was awesome!
