Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to amuse and interest you. You’ll meet many characters from history and see how they might have behaved in situations you’re sure to know about. There are also murderers and victims – some real and some fictitious; there’s ‘Who Dunnits’ and barbaric actions by ordinary people; there are unreal situations faced by very real characters. There are 20 different stories for you to choose and all as fascinating as each other. Was Benedict Arnold a traitor or a hero? Did William Shakespeare really desert his wife for a better life in London? How did Abraham Lincoln earn the name ‘Honest Abe? Was Rabbie Burns as enamoured of the lassies as he was said to be? (I think you’ll find he was.) The above are just a few examples to grip your interest – but there’s much, much more to keep you glued until the end of each story. As for the answers to the above questions, perhaps you’ll have a better idea after you’ve read this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take your imagination for a ride in this collection of short stories, surrealist fairytales with a twist, by Mark Sheeky.The stories in The Intangible Man are a little like those of Jorge Luis Borges - little gnomic parables that leave us questing for their inner meaning. Unlike true science fiction, Sheeky's stories never dwell on their technical or scientific contents but rather focus on some psychological, philosophical or moral theme in the manner of Ray Bradbury or Robert Sheckley. However, the surreal juxtapositions and conceptual tangents that define his writing transcend the limitations of genre fiction, frequently achieving that singular vision which defines the highest literature.

Book excerpt: By traveling down the deepest hidden portals of the imagination, Brandon Tezzano delves into the mysterious realms of the surreal, the wondrous, the bizarre, and the unsettling. In Strange Aeons, seven stories give us glimpses into seven unusual worlds, each of them places that straddle the thin line between reality and unreality. The result is a triumph of postmodern surrealism that expresses haunting things about the nature of existence and the place of the human mind within it.
