Nitrospective
Japanese school children grow giant frogs, a superhero grapples with her secret identity, onions foretell global disasters and an undercover agent is ambivalent as to which side he works for and why. Relationships form and crumble with the slightest of nudges. World catastrophe is imminent; alien invasion blase. These twenty slipstream stories from acclaimed author Andrew Hook examine identity and our fragile existence, skid skewed realities and scratch the surface of our world, revealing another - not altogether dissimilar - layer beneath.
The contents are as follows:
- The Onion Code
- Follow Me
- The Strangeness In Me
- Bigger Than The Beetles
- Jump
- The Glass Football
- Red or White
- Shipping Tomorrow Backwards
