Psychedelia Noir - E-book - ePub

This new collection of short stories begins with the harrowing "The Dream Harvesters, " wherein new mother, Evie, tries to figure out the legacy of violence that has shaped her, and finds that the question of "who" she is has taken a backseat to the question of "what" she is."Rated 'L' For Legacy" is another story about legacies - albeit, one with a much lighter touch! It's all about bridging the generation gap and treats you to a family outing, where Gramps learns that monster hunting ain't what it used to be."Nunavut Thunderfuck" is a Pushcart Nominated story that takes a skewed, cynical and darkly hilarious look at the options that polar bears can consider as career choices as the resources in their natural habitat dwindle away."The Headmaster's Closet" is a morbid little trifle that take the notion of headmaster quite literally."Ladder of Ashes" is about ghosts and the decay of colonialism."Along Dominion Road" takes you to a world where dementia has reached plague-like dimensions."The Unravelling" is not just about losing your mind, but other horrors like growing old and becoming irrelevant.
Psychedelia Noir winds up with a special bonus story - a reprise of "Touching the Screams" a short story adapted from a chapter in the upcoming novel, The Carnivorous Forest.
