Twenty-four slipstream stories. Frequently absurd, often minimifidian, occasionally heroic.A paranoid who kills a television star who only wants to make him rich. An android who doesn't know what he is and can't get his horse started. A boy who grows up to be impossibly average. Duelling as a way of climbing the greasy corporate pole. A listless middle-aged gamer who is played by his games. What the Devil really wants. A time-travelling Shakespeare faced with impossible rewrites. A fridge in love with a floor polisher. A boy who can foretell storms. An argument over which is more illusory: art or magic.Robert Bagnall's science fiction, fantasy, horror and otherwise genre-defying slipstream stories have appeared in a variety of anthologies and websites over the course of the 2010s. His stories have appeared three times in the Best of British Science Fiction, and he has been a finalist in the L Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future competition. This anthology collects twenty-four of his short stories.
