When Strange Calls You Home: A Collection of Short Stories

by Kelly Punton

'The dreams and the words do not frighten me; they only interrupt my waking. It is my corner of exotic. A secret junction where the mysterious meets my comforted existence.'The characters in these stories are all searching for something more – some folk are sitting, waiting, wondering when, or even if, their lives are going to change, whilst others are finding mystery in unexpected places.

You will meet the Private Investigator desperate to find her city’s missing beloved hippo; a teenager trying to explain why an exotic language haunts her in the night; a famed artist seeking refuge from her New York city life in a dreamy, desolate ranch; and a spirited cat with a critical message. 

When Strange Calls You Home invites your is it really outrageous to treasure the mysterious and magical in even the most beautiful, painfully ordinary lives?

A fantastic read. Every piece takes you somewhere new but equally as magical. The collection strikes a beautiful balance between reality and mystery, causing many a thought-provoking moment. I can’t wait for her next collection.
