Poetically frightening, filled with nebbishy gods and endearing
demons, set everywhere from Beldonooza to the back porch, here are
short fictions from James David Audlin. A boy turns into an orange
to escape his tormentors. A planet with a million gods and only one
human. A little deal with the Devil. Shadows haunt a traveller's
night. A young girl whose dolls are alive. The room that shouldn't
be there, beyond the bedroom wall. A living boy rides with the
Caravan of the Dead. Someone who remembers only the future, not the
past. A battle of wills between character and author. In the most
ancient times, someone invents hills, but forgets to invent "down
the other side." The City of Mists, from which no one ever returns.
A freak who is a little too real, even for the travelling circus.
The letter "W" is banned from ever being spoken or written. A
struggling author meets his own unfinished story. Some kind of kid
named Weisenheimer brings a god to life in the barn. The author of
Rats Live on no Evil Star and The Circle of Life arranges a bizarre
bouquet of strange blooms, most of them based on his own dreams and
nightmares.
