Produktbeschreibung
We hope this volume will be one you'll keep on a bedside table. Or pop into a travel bag. We want you to use this anthology as a companion for those times when you have a half-hour to fill and don't want to muck about with the internet. Not one of these stories will take you more than ten minutes to read. But they will take you around the planet at warp speed. You may find yourself on a galactic cruise from your office, park bench, or seat on the 9.35 local. Some of what you'll read in here is laugh-out-loud funny. You may go Snork! and get Looks on the commuter train. Some of the stories and poems in here will probably make you want to cry. Life on Earth can be dark, sometimes. We're hoping you can take the rough with the smooth. Some of these stories might introduce you to the kind of people you've wondered about, but never met.

Autorenporträt
Every November, contributors to the h2g2.com Post get together and write serial stories, a chapter a day. One year, we all composed a tale together, which became 30 Hours in Hooverville. Last year, we took on the theme of 'Holes in History', resulting in a lot of fun and my book Coming of Age in Brookville. This year, I told them, the theme would be 'Twice-Told Tales': grab something from the folklore index. Retell your favourite fairy tale with a new twist. Do what the scriptwriters call a 'haircut' on an old theme. The results were highly satisfying, although one avid reader remarked that some of the 'haircuts' were more like decapitations. My personal effort involves a 'haircut' of The Fugitive, a 1960s tv series that was itself a 'haircut' of Les Miserables. Ultimately, though, it's the old motif of the falsely accused hero on a dangerous mission.
