Better the Devil
An e-book collection of chapbooks.
Seven chapbooks unnaturally joined together like the planks of an improvised gallows. You, the reader, are the hangman; I'm the forlorn felon. I don't know where the rope is, maybe it can't be found. But as the Chicago mobster, Upside Downey Jr, once said when he was in a similar position, "No noose is good noose!"
He didn't really. I made that up...

Rhys Henry Hughes (born 1966) is a Welsh writer and essayist.
Born in Cardiff, Hughes is a prolific short story writer with an eclectic mix of influences, which include Italo Calvino, Milorad Pavić, Jorge Luis Borges, Stanisław Lem, Flann O'Brien, Felipe Alfau, Donald Barthelme and Jack Vance. Much of his work is of a humorously eccentric bent, often parodies and pastiches with surreal and absurdist overtones, although he is by no means limited to any of these forms and has proven to be extremely versatile. He has been published in Postscripts among many other places.
