About the book
The Short Story section includes sixteen stories in various genres within fictional literature such as literary fiction, mystery, thriller, historical nonfiction and fiction, romance, science fiction, and realist literature.
In Patient Zero we visit a world that could be a utopian society but with an error in programming easily became a Dystopian society. In Times Past we follow our protagonist as she tries to solve the sudden death of a newly hired man of the cloth, and in the process realizes that she is the intended victim. We The People of Earth takes us on a journey well beyond our known space.
The Battle of Crete is a memoir written by a witness, Artemios Korkidis, of the battle during the invasion of Crete in 1941.

“If you're looking for a treasure chest full of delightful and engaging stories, do yourself a favor and get The KEAK Anthology today! I've never seen such a diverse collection, and loved how the author included joint writings with her father. The genres in this story collection include literary fiction, mystery, thriller, historical nonfiction and fiction, romance, science fiction, and realist literature, so there is really something for everyone. While it's hard to choose one favorite story, The Hug was probably the one that stood out the most to me. Highly recommend!”
“Finely crafted, fascinating, and emotionally charged work with palpable tension. Korkidis seamlessly blends fiction with biographical elements, offering a captivating and immersive collection of stories and prose alongside select works co-authored with her father, Artemios Korkidis. From utopian explorations to poignant historical memoirs, each story promises a distinct journey across genres like literary fiction, romance, SF, and historical fiction. “Patient Zero” exposes a seemingly idyllic society marred by a programming glitch, delving into themes of societal manipulation and technological influence, while “Times Past” follows a protagonist navigating events that compel her to confront her history. With themes of memory, identity, and personal growth, Korkidis crafts engaging and heartfelt narratives that invite readers to reflect on their own experiences. The second part of the anthology features concise yet impactful flash fiction pieces that delve into themes of dysfunction, closeness, and self-confidence. The book also offers a tantalizing glimpse into the intricate worlds and compelling characters of Korkidis’s novels, including “Josette” and “Daniel” from “The Story of Josette and Daniel” Trilogy, through select excerpts. With imaginative storytelling and real-life inspiration, this book provides a glimpse into the author’s world, offering thought-provoking tales rich in emotion. A must-read for those seeking a blend of fine literary fiction and personal insight.”
