Surreal short stories for people with short attention spans. Enter a world of late-night diners, vengeful aliens and interdimensional portals, a place where monsters dwell, park benches talk, and supernatural hitchhikers make playthings of us all.
Absurd is the new normal in the fast-paced, whimsical world of Shortweird Stories. These tales explore the space between the mundane and the strange, blending supernatural humour, playful absurdity and a surprisingly heartfelt sensibility.
All three books in the series are available in ebook and paperback. Click here or below for online store options, or ask your local bookstore to order them.
