Sanity and Other Delusions
Introduction by Stephen Volk. Cover art by J. K. Potter.
The first in the PS Showcase range – novella-length mini-collections of short stories from some of genre fiction's best up-and-coming writers.
Gary Fry's work has always focused on the thing we think we know best, yet may know least of all: the meandering, labyrinthine mind.
In Sanity and Other Delusions' six cerebral excursions, everyday life is exposed for the realm of illusions it almost certainly is. Almost.
After all, how can we be sure? How can we truly know when the world is more or less than what our psyches make of it? Perhaps other people tell us. Yes, it's them out there, trying to get in here. Keep them out at all costs! Do anything to prevent madness...
If tales of existence slipping awry are what provide your brain with convulsions, then venture into these stories of people on the brink. There's a fine line between sanity and delusions; indeed, the closer you look for it, the more you'll be begin to question whether it's there at all.
