Conundrum
England's oldest county provides the backdrop as lives are turned upside down in the most unlikely settings. The characters wrestle with their sanity as they make astonishing discoveries about themselves. From a dream recording machine to an alternative apocalypse, and from historic Canterbury to the White Cliffs of Dover, their world is never what it seems. Is anything they experience even real?
The stories gradually fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle until even the reader and the author himself are drawn into the dilemmas.
The tales were originally released as 'Seven Dreams of Reality' and 'The Kent-erbury Tales.' Some are expanded; others are modified; one is brand new. Let your mind wander and enjoy these mysterious tales from deepest Kent.
