If You Expect The Unexpected, Then It Won’t Be Unexpected Anymore: A Perfectly (Un)Expected Collection of Short Stories
A mixture of light and dark.
A mixture of solemn and laugh out loud.
A mixture of sci-fi and fantasy.
There's something in here for everyone, but each story has something in common. They all begin in the real world - but each story has it's own distinct twist.
Have you ever experienced the corrupted underground scene of high school conkers? Gambling, dirty dealings, blackmail?
Ever met the girl of your dreams but wondered whether she's a vampire?
Have you ever met a dragon... made of cake?
If no is the answer to any of these questions, you ought to know what you are missing.
Featuring the prize winning short story "Weapons of Mass Destruction", placed first in the GKBC Inc 2013/14 competition by crime novelist Tim Weaver. Tim's comment on the story was “The clear winner. Brutal, funny, inventive, this cross between Grange Hill and The Hunger Games is wonderfully evoked. Its rules are clear, its characters fleshed out, there’s pace, tension and a suitably jet-black twist.”
