Trilogy reminded me quite a bit of The Twilight Zone. Normal people, doing everyday things, then something odd happens that twists everything up and changes the entire perspective.

Trilogy is a short novel, but it really packs a punch with it's clever twists and unique characters. Three different people in different walks of life whom's lives are never the same again after something happens. I have to say of the three stories, the last one featuring Gregory and the airplane watching is by far my favorite. That's not to say that the other stories weren't well written and just as riveting.

If you enjoy unique fiction with a supernatural twist, you won't want to miss this well written collection. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Trilogy: A Collection by Prudence MacGregor is comprised of three stories, all of which have an otherworldly, paranormal theme to them. The book is not really classified as typical horror - I classified the book in that category myself. Anyway, the first story of the trio was 'Parallelograms', about a young woman named Justine, whose previously tightly-controlled and well-ordered world is thrown into a tailspin by her chance meetings with two unusual people. One woman - Justine's doppelganger - is someone who appears to be shopping at the same supermarket while Justine is there, but mysteriously disappears when she looks for her. The second - a middle-aged man named Kenny - is someone who Justine encounters first in her local bookstore, while browsing the self-help section during her lunch hour - then meets again outside the same supermarket, and he appears slightly different physically. Justine ultimately finds herself facing an unexpected and potentially terrifying situation, that causes her to question her very existence.

'Random' is a story about a college student named Ullyssa who, just out of curiosity, decides to send up a balloon with a note attached, and see who answers her note. Such a simple project leads Lyssa into strange circumstances when a teenage girl named Prudence calls Lyssa's cell phone at 1:30 the next morning, claiming that she has found the balloon and wants to meet Lyssa.

'Up There' focuses on Gregory, an unassuming office worker who is fascinated by airplanes that he sees in the sky. Quite by accident he meets Sherry, a beautiful motivational speaker, who just may have a connection to one of the planes he has seen recently. Suddenly, Gregory's harmless and seemingly innocuous pastime - watching planes fly overhead and guessing their destinations - turns questionable and ultimately forces him to take a look at his world: is it real or has it always been an illusion?

Overall, I really enjoyed this book as I love books with paranormal themes. I think that I liked the last two stories in the trilogy slightly more than the first one. Although 'Parallelograms' was good in its own way, I was left wanting to know just a little bit more about Kenny's explanation of what exactly was the paranormal event that Justine was experiencing. I give Trilogy: A Collection by Prudence MacGregor an A!
