Coming Books
“A Robot, a Ghost and an Alien Walk into a Bar” is a collection of short stories about lonely monsters.
The characters are quirky variations on science fiction tropes. The robots are blues guitarists, art collectors and disaffected cats. Aliens visit Earth to play tag with space nerds, or to seek bureaucratic approval for lunar building projects. Ghosts are careless (they occasionally get run over by cars) and their haunting behaviour is controlled by an abstruse fifth century theological debate. Robots, ghosts and aliens share their world with stressed-out humans, animate corpses, talking foxes and demonic hockey players.
Everyone is searching for slivers of happiness, and some actually find it.
