Behold the ordinary world from the wrong side and nightmares and

author of RATS LIVE ON NO EVIL STAR and THE CIRCLE OF LIFE. A
stripper loves a swinging lightbulb. An explorer encounters the
Face of God. The accidental inventor of streaking. Children dig a
hole to China. After his death a father's storytelling talent is
discovered. A couple find the way to have a perfect relationship. A
soldier at the front writes an absolutely perfect poem. A Sultan
who despairs of finding the woman he desires in his well-stocked
harem. A woman is haunted by her own reflection. A dying man feels
ever so much better when his family has gone. An explorer changes
the name of a village in rural Asia - and changes history. A
mountain pool that shows the Face of God. A couple who have the
perfect relationship, by never divulging any personal information
to each other. A government agent finds a hill on which he may face
death if he crosses it. A father carries his dead child through the
village to the sacred mountain. These and more strange stories come
from the off-kilter imagination of James David Audlin.
