Onion Gods
Bok av Simon Goodway
Sixteen stories that run the gamut of genres, from comedy to scifi to horror to crime, and span multiple centuries, three continents and two dimensions. Two pirates, stranded amongst a primitive civilisation with unusual ideas about beauty, find their preconceptions challenged and start asking deeper questions than pirates are used to. A pair of grave robbers get more than they bargained for when they dig up a serial killer. A scientist goes to extreme lengths to save her dying husband. A Japanese girl gives advice from beyond the grave. A gardener gets his revenge. A drug lord battles to save his career. A woman swears at a giant holographic paperclip. And so on. Full of unexpected twists, profound ideas and silly jokes. If you don't like them, you must be weird.
