Produktbeschreibung
A vulnerable young man struggles to find his place in the world as he discovers ominous signs in the shifting patterns of his beloved clouds. A taxi driver's encounter with a mysterious girl brings him something entirely unexpected - including a journey which might never end. A series of homicides has the police scratching their (ill-groomed) heads and the only significant lead is the testimony of a local barber who may have trimmed the culprit's hair. For the Connards' personal caterer, five years of belittlement and abuse is about to come to an end in spectacular fashion. Having advertised for a different kind of catering team, she's just about to cook up a dish best served cold. At the eve of the Second World War, a farming lad discovers that the ghosts of the past are all too real, and that - even for survivors - war comes at a terrible cost. The end of civilisation arrives at the gates of a house which - the owner believes - is perfect for surviving floods and zombies. But not even bleachy spray and a kick-ass pensioner can save humanity - unless the house itself holds one more secret. With themes including love, various facets of death, parental angst and the many mysteries of life, The Cloudwrangler's Phrasebook and Other Stories is a collection of fiction which visits differing genres like an amateur explorer with the map upside-down.
