VISIONS FROM THE EDGE OF A WEIRD WORLD
Will you find supernatural themes in here? Why yes. Some frights and menacing developments? Oh, sure. But the real word to encapsulate these modern-day tales of modern-day people isn't 'horror' or 'dark fantasy' or anything of that sort.
It is simply 'strange.' These are tales chock-full of strangeness.
We live in a most peculiar world that seems to get a little weirder every passing year, and these stories reflect that truth in their own imaginative way. I always say to people who are unnerved by my plotlines: "Want to see something considerably weirder than this? All you have to do, most days, is just switch on the evening news."
Mark Twain thought that people were all crazy. Einstein thought humanity was stupid. But maybe we are neither of those things, just trapped in an existence we cannot make proper sense of.
The world described in this collection? It's honestly our world, the one we largely made, but viewed from a fantastic angle.
And it is very, very strange indeed. Let's go take a look.
Genre: Science Fiction
