Publisher's Synopsis
From the feral imagination of Max Scratchmann comes a dark and erotic world of murderers, mermaids, mechanical maidens and other mythical monsters.These magical realist fragments will both entertain and enthral you, transporting you to shadowy kingdoms where moonlit sirens crawl up from the depths and android lovers cry bitter tears of glass; where lost giants wander in forbidden valleys and cutthroats prowl the shadowy urban streets by night; and everything that seemed secure by the light of day dissolves into an arid dystopian landscape where darkness reigns supreme.The twenty-six flash fiction tales in this collection include Bluebeard's Seventh Wife, Iona Pearls, Dark but Natural, My Words Itch at Your Ears, The Snow Queen, Sargasso Sea, Mermaids in a Jar and many more...
