Flights of Fancy: Thirteen Tortuous Tales of Science Fiction, Horror, Bizarre Events, and Just Plain Weirdness Harry Fancy 1.º edición

Within these diverse stories you will encounter a magician whose finale is murder, shared nightmares, a magic carpet that lives up to its name, a recipe for a Martian non-vegetarian main course, a cook who purloins the body of a stranger, and other interesting topics and characters. A few can be classified as horror stories, one as science fiction, and the majority just plain quirky. If it?s weirdness you want, look no further ? Fancy has provided it. According to author Harry Fancy this book features thirteen delusions that he experienced after too much late-night cheese whilst reading works by the likes of Edgar Alan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Franz Kafka, Terry Pratchett and Luigi Pirandello (the overlooked father of ?The Theatre of the Absurd?). Fancy further claims, ?These stories are better than smoking pot ? they have much the same effect, but are perfectly legal! But be warned ? they may be addictive.? Fancy has a way with weirdness! . . . . . ?If you?re a fan of quirky surrealism, take a flight and let your pilot Harry fly you to parts of his unfettered imagination beyond the usual destinations.? ?
