God invites an atheist to lunch. A time tourist visits his own future. A wife sees something disturbing on her husband’s phone. A teen goth comes on to a vampire. A tiny ventriloquist haunts Christmas. All hell breaks loose at the Algonquin Hotel. A one-night-stand steals a woman’s shoes.
Mark Bastable’s stories are inventive and twisted, bizarre and wry.
“They’re like truffles. It’s very difficult to stop at just one.”
