In this collection, you will find an eclectic blend of literary, horror and surreal fiction. I thought about categorizing it neatly for the reader, but where would the fun be in that? Life is messy, unpredictable and full of surprises. It is also both absurd and full of hope, as are the stories in this book.
There isn't any standard length for flash fiction. These pieces are 1,000 words or less. Fiction bites, juicy morsels of food for thought. But be careful... some of these stories bite back.

OCR is Not the Only Font
Silly, surreal and sometimes serious, these thirty-one very short stories cover a vast range of subjects and themes. Written entirely during July 2012, these flash fiction pieces are accompanied by a deeply unscientific analysis of the challenge that spawned them: to write thirty-one stories in thirty-one days. From lovesick androids to disgruntled minotaurs, the stories in this book embrace Classical mythology, futuristic sci-fi, and a variety of other genres that would much rather have stayed out of the way. Within these electronic pages, you will find disgraced superheroes, unionised zombies, steam-powered clowns and incompetent astronauts. Includes a non-fiction section analysing the results of this month-long experiment.Complete
