Résumé

A woman experiences an unusual death. An explorer discovers the uncomfortable truth about the meaning of life. A ship's crew mutinies because of the captain's unfortunate personal problems. And that's only the hors d'oeuvres.'Curtailed Tales' is a combination of micro and flash fiction stories featuring a myriad of curious characters ensconced in various weird and wonderful scenarios. It delivers to the reader imagined futures, rewritten histories, suburban melodramas, intercourse (the social and sexual kinds) and alien encounters (of the third kind)Humorous, and punctuated by the deadly serious, all one hundred 'tales' are designed as entertainment for an adult audience and, where applicable, their far too worldly-wise offspring.
Steve Davies is an Australian writer who has been producing prolific amounts of poetry, short stories, sketches and song lyrics over the past twenty years - almost entirely for his own amusement. Encouraged by the members of the Mordialloc Writers Group to share these works with the world, he has one published collection of poetry called 'Out of my mind: a collection of poetic forms' (an eBook only - 2014) and a self-published collection of 'flash' fiction called 'Curtailed Tales' (2016).
He has also contributed to two printed anthologies - Kingston My City (Mordialloc Writers Group) and The 21st Anthology (Canterbury Writers) and is currently working on 'More Curtailed Tales' and 'Not the usual murder and mayhem' (short stories). In addition, 1970's vintage Mad magazine, Monty Python, Stephen King and a cynical view of (a) the world (b) life in all it's aspects are cited as inspirations for his writing.
