Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A creative ninja with a dark mind and a quirky nature, Stephanie Ayers writes all the words and spins twisted tales filled with horror, fantasy, suspense, and anything in between. With a trunk full of tricks thanks to a checkered past, she haunts Irish castles and snowy mountaintops in her dreams, while living the unicorn life in Ohio disguised as a human. When she isn’t listening to the voices in her head, she spends her days as a mom, Gigi, cat lover, and Netflix binger, while avoiding housework at all costs.

Since signing with Crazy Ink Publishing, Stephanie has managed to somehow produce over a dozen solo works (with no ending in sight). With ink in her blood, an absence of fear, and a passion for telling stories, she isn’t afraid to dip her pen in the inkwell of many genres, and even has four successful series in her name—the stand-alone horror volumes of The 13 Series, the amateur witch detectives of the Coven Cozy Mysteries, the individual displaced characters in the Portal to Madness series, and her epic five book fantasy series, Destiny Defined.

When she isn’t lost in her overactive imagination or entertaining her mini-unicorns, you can find her all over social media and find a full listing of her works on her Amazon author page. Her favorite wandering place is her readers’ group on Facebook. Join the herd now!

Stay up to date with everything unicorn by subscribing to her monthly newsletter and get a free read as a thank you!

BOOK REVIEW: The 13: Tales of Illusory By: Stephanie Ayers

I have to admit I usually am not a fan of horror stories. As a teenager, I loved reading the Omen, Salem’ s Lot and other scary books. Then for some reason, I didn’t like that genre anymore. But that seems to be changing – again. Stephanie Ayers has written a book of short stories – horror stories, including poetry.

I found it to be mesmerizing, intriguing, captivating. Stephanie has a special talent. She creates magic in her words, drawing you into each of her stories, making you feel as if you are walking alongside the characters, feeling the emotions as well. See all sides of the dimensions. And that is truly what a great writer does.

In the story “Season of Change,” I don’t know why but I read that one over twice. I think in a way, I myself thought it was comical (perhaps I was the only one) but Stephanie wrote it in a way that made me think of an old Criminal Minds episode.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book of short stories!

This is the first book I've read in the 13 series. Sometimes with short stories you never know if they will be rushed or lacking in detail. Ayers did a fabulous job on all the stories in this. I enjoyed each of them. What the Sign Saw and The Thirteenth Year were two of my favorites in this collection.

If you like creepy/chilling stories this is one to check out! The stories are the perfect length if you are looking for a quick read. I look forward to more of her short stories in the other books in this series

Promised as a quick read, it still filled my every wish from a book. It had amazing characters, moving storylines that never grow style and an imagination all its own.

Out of thirteen stories I actually liked four I came across this book by referral based on my reading I don't know why I chose it. I expected something from what the title said it was going to be,my definition is different. I wish I could say more or do better for the review and I can only say it was just ok.

Rarely do I come across an anthology, or in this case a collection of short stories by one author, where I genuinely like every single story in the book. But that was the case here. I'm so glad I have the next book in the Thirteen series on my kindle!
