Each electronic version contains one (1) short story, taken from the short story collections of Ted William Gross. If you wish to purchase the books at Smashwords click here.

Each book contains one story and they are appropriately priced as well if you wish to read just one or a couple of the stories. 


A Tapestry Of War” is part of the short story collection “Ancient Tales, Modern Legends”. “A Tapestry Of War” is based upon a real story which took place during the most recent Israel-Lebanon War. Having been a battlefield medic for many years, the events within this story do closely resemble the truth of war and the impact it has upon society and soldiers in particular. “A Tapestry Of War” is an edited and re-written excerpt from a longer novel which has not yet been published. This story has received quite a few rave reviews over the years. I do hope you enjoy it as much as a story of war can be “enjoyed”. 



Addiction, Obsession, Love” is part of the short story collection “Ancient Tales, Modern Legends”. “Addiction, Obsession, Love” is about the fragility of love and a story of love lost, gained and lost again. It has received quite a few rave reviews over the years. I do hope you enjoy it and it will remain with you long after you have read it. 


"Elijah's Coins" is part of the short story collection "Ancient Tales, Modern Legends""Elijah's Coins" is a historical fiction story in which the biblical Elijah appears in more recent times to grant those who wish the ability to change the course of their lives. This story has received quite a few rave reviews. I do hope you enjoy it. 



Jacob's Ladder” is part of the short story collection “Ancient Tales, Modern Legends”. What happens when man and arch-angel meet and are forced to take action without any command to do so? What decisions must they arrive at despite the eons old silence of the One who rules them? How do they react to evil and good in their own way? How do they interpret the silence of the heavens? This is the story of “Jacob's Ladder” which is a mythical, fable-like discourse between man and angel. This story has received quite a few rave reviews over the years. I do hope you enjoy it.  


Kapparot” is part of the short story collection “Ancient Tales, Modern Legends”. What happens when one man is allowed to view the most intimate of discussions between another man and his God? How does one react when hearing another judge God in the same way he judges himself? How does one truly atone for deeds they wish they had not done? The legendry Baal Shem Tov sought justice and compassion. He would settle for nothing less. “Kapparot” is a story of that long lost world where humility, compassion and honesty are crucial to the discovery of oneself. I do hope you enjoy it. 



"Love In A Café" is part of the short story collection "Ancient Tales, Modern Legends""Love In A Café" is a romantic love story with a twist. This story has received quite a few rave reviews. I do hope you enjoy it. 



Reverieing” is part of the short story collection “Ancient Tales, Modern Legends”. “Reverieing” is a story of the slow descent into depression, loneliness and sorrow by one man who has been destined by luck or fate to experience the purgatory of existence. This story is not for the light-hearted and will hit you with a sledgehammer of emotions. It has received quite a few rave reviews. I do hope you enjoy it but beware it will remain with you long after you have read it. 


The Sunflower” is part of the short story collection “Ancient Tales, Modern Legends”. “The Sunflower” is a story of the effects that terrorism can have upon those that have been touched by it. It uses imagery and allusion to portray the seed of hate which propagates itself endlessly. It has received quite a few rave reviews over the years. I do hope you enjoy it but beware it will remain with you long after you have read it.


The Heretic” is part of the short story collection “Ancient Tales, Modern Legends”. “The Heretic” is about faith and the questions it imposes upon the believer. It is up to you, dear reader, to decide who truly is the heretic within this short story. It has received quite a few rave reviews over the years. I do hope you enjoy it and it will remain with you long after you have read it. 


Tiny Slivers From A Silver Horn” is part of the short story collection “Ancient Tales, Modern Legends”. “Tiny Slivers From A Silver Horn” is a fable or legend if you will, about Unicorns, mankind and the stars. It presents a message of hope though it forces upon those who dare to hope even during the darkest of times, a choice which will have dire consequences no matter which road they choose to embark upon. It has received quite a few rave reviews over the years. I do hope you enjoy it and it will remain with you long after you have read it.
