Adam’s subject matter tends towards the surreal or at least the very least weird. His writing has been described in the press as a ‘Chandler-esque hard-boiled cocktail, stirred with equal parts humour, mystery, gut-wrenching realism, and trademark minimalism’, ‘weird, wonderful, twisted and witty’ and even ‘almost Fawlty Towers’ which is, unsurprisingly, one of his favourites. His first book, a collection . . .

A story of horror, identity, and what it means to use technology—or be used by it. A story of wonder, searching for the truth, and the things that lurk beyond. A story where the fabric of the world is thinner than it should be. A story of hypermath and magic, of quantum mischief and cosmic horrors. . . .
This story is a dark comedy of a man trying to save the world while grappling with his sanity and looking for a good cheeseburger before the world ends and everybody he knows dies. This is a tragedy where a grieving man is taken to all sorts of fantastical places and given everything he wishes for by an ancient . . .

Harbour City is a humorous film noir-ish story. David is a washed out 28 year old who accidentally fell out of a four story building and landed on an old woman, killing her. Since his life sucks so much, he has a hard time convincing anyone that he didn’t try to commit suicide. The setting is Cape Town, . . .

Boskeopolis is an obscure city-state in the Verdazul archipelago in Orange Ocean–or, as other countries call it, the Pacific Ocean. It’s notable for its persistent violation o’ the laws o’ physics, biology, & economics—though, to be fair, real life doesn’t obey that last 1, either. As such, any inconsistencies within these stories should be blamed on glitches, for I’m ’fraid . . .

Phineas Clockword’s uncyclopedic Denham’s Dentifrice aiming to answer overly specific questions. What does a vending machine think? What did the late botanist’s nephew inherit? Is there a demon named Jonathan? Who is the Holy Llama President? What is an unbison? How many pillows did I stuff using my belly-button fluff? Are there more nifty questions? Yes. . . .
Hitherby Dragons is a story about the emptiness. If you look out at the world, there’s a lot that you know. There’s a lot that you understand. But at the edge of your map, there’s emptiness. There’s questions that are hard to answer. There’s things that are hard to explain. There’s choices that don’t make sense . . .
May 25, 2017: Ok, it was probably the promise of cats that drew me in, though to be honest, in the part I read they are present but not particularly strong characters. More could be done with this idea, and perhaps is in later chapters.
The story is built around the purposeful wanderings of a girl, or some kind of being in the form of a girl, with teleportation and other powers, in the company of a herd of cats that follow her around [more . . .]
Sep 20, 2016: Meet Carson, irreverent, unreliable, and often incoherent narrator who survived the end of the world. Perhaps.
No, seriously, he may or may not be schizophrenic and this whole story might be taking place in his head in an asylum.
The backstory, if the main character can be believed (and he can’t), is pretty much a Lovecraftian apocalypse. With fish-people and possibly homicidal houses, and a pet eyeball with spider legs. If it’s [more . . .]
