The Pets of Tinsleberry - E-book - ePub

The most surprising pets live in Tinsleberry.           Tinsleberry Town, beautiful, idyllic, glitters with the dazzle of thousands of tiny lights, placed strategically to attract the attention of the tourists who make up the economic lifeblood of the town.           Newlyweds and honeymooners. Artistic vacationers and burned-out run-of-the-mill workers attempting to reignite their spark in life or in love.           Tourism dropped when vacationers realized a small group of exotic escaped pets run wild now in Tinsleberry, terrorizing visitors.           The town asks Debulon, the great tusked hunter of the north, to come to town for a very peculiar capture assignment.           This collection of five original fantasy stories-first published here-explores the magical adventures of creatures and the humans who deal with them:           In "The Tusked Exotic Pet Spotter, " Debulon finds himself offered a temporary job doing a different kind of hunting.           In "The Airy Unusual, " Debulon's attempts to locate a member of a mythic species do not go to plan.            "A Pet for the Sleeping Woman" is a Rapunzel story, and therefore out of place and out of time.           In "The Creature at Lovers' Falls, " Debulon faces an unexpected challenge when tracking down an assigned target.           And in "Love is a Dream by Night, " Debulon is confronted by a demand from a figure close to his heart .
