Unlikely Stories is an anthology blending horror and comedy through a series of supernatural, paranormal, and sci-fi tales. The narratives include an exorcism, an alien encounter, a haunted lift, a seance, a shapeshifter, a werewolf, a talking bird, an evil twin, an alien invasion, and a distressed young alpaca, all woven into a witty love story. In the first edition, the lead meets Vampira at a resort and believes she is his soulmate, entertaining his friend's kids with stories. An Indian crook, seeking a fresh start in the West, faces off against a dangerous mind-reading medium, Mademoiselle Zuma. Following a successful exorcism, he helps a teenager plagued by alien abductions. A deceased security guard haunts a lift, seeking revenge, while a femme fatale confronts the second lead. Mademoiselle Zuma also resolves the nightmares of two women, and an old mansion drives its new buyers to desperation. The first lead and Vampira plan their future, culminating in a humorous exploration of life’s mysteries. The second edition, the Mademoiselle Zuma Chronicles, features stories from her perspective, including a ghostly intruder, competition for Zuma, a rich heiress haunted by her twin, and an alien invasion targeting cows. The anthology maintains a clean tone, avoiding physical contact and explicit language, focusing instead on humor and clever storytelling.
