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.
