A group of short stories and novellas. Great for reading on public transportation if you are trying to save the planet. If you drive this will fill the downtime at work and escaping life at home.
I believe in making a better world through the art of words. Authors throughout time have defended free speech and other basic human rights with our craft. Some of us show the world how it could be, pointing the way towards a brighter future. Others show where we are headed and hold up a stop sign, telling humanity to go no further. I sit firmly in the second camp, standing on the shoulders of giants, trying not to mess up their legacy. I am one of those authors who cannot be confined by genre; horror, dystopian, satire - so long as it is dark or twisted it is probably something I have done or will do. Join me on this journey to create a better future.
Another journey into the weirdly wonderful imagination of Patrick Elliott.
Most of the stories in this book are fairly dark, although not as dark as the ones in Too Dark for Television . There is something about each story that keeps you reading and makes you wonder what the author can come up with next. Some stories are only a page or so long, while others cover several pages.
My favourites from this book were a couple of the longer stories: Songs of the Lost and Flames of the Nightand the short story: Snow King, Gypsy Queen, along with Imaginary Friends, which has six linked shorts scattered through the book.
