The Oddness Collection: Selected Short Stories

"Dear readers, no animals were killed or injured when I wrote this book. It contains no trans-fats, gluten, sugars or other harmful, unhealthy ingredients. It does contain twenty non-fattening stories, recently selected for your reading pleasure. There are a few highly sexualised passages in some stories and a few cuss words. If you are uncomfortable with such things, please be warned, for they lurk quietly beneath the covers. These stories introduce to the reader an Australian talking squirrel, a demented asylum principal, a library stocked with talking books, the madness of modern medicine, an artist, struggling with alcoholism and ghostly visitations. Acquaint yourself with the heroic Dark Angel and a traffic warden as they punish a child molester. There are many other fictional characters waiting for the pleasure of your company. Both hospital stories and the car hospital, Black Rock, and Tolbert are true, as are the bulldog tales. Madness, Mexican food, love, religion, cruelty, humor, life, and death are all represented. So, within the covers of this book are many short tales from which to choose, there should be something for everyone, for as each reader will have unique tastes, so these stories are quite different from each other."
