“With A Woman In It” – In this adult fairy tale, the dwarf Tugbeard is gifted a beautiful dress with which to capture a bride. Whether he wants one or not.
“Teethgrinder” – When Sean cracks a tooth before rehearsals, he needs a dentist. Nobody makes it in Hollywood with bad teeth. Oh yes, and the pain is awful. His dentist, however, has other needs.

People Skins Volume 1
Morgan has a weird imagination which suits me because I’m considered a bit of a weird person so his stories and flights of fancy appeal to me. If you consider yourself a little weird they will appeal to you too, even even if you don’t consider yourself a little weird (and aren’t we all a little really) then by the time you’ve read them you may actually find that you too are in fact just maybe a little weird.
Go ahead read and see.

Twisted, weird and irreverent short stories!
Most of the stories are good but there were a couple I didn’t care for. There’s not enough of any of them to utilize character development but the actions certainly keep the reader’s attention.
