Mean Tales and Other Lives N W Twyford

MEAN TALES AND OTHER LIVES is a collection of horror, fantasy and science fiction stories, which provides unkind tales from this world and others. The first section, MEAN TALES, explores creepy, scary or downright nasty supernatural events that occur after the British government unwittingly removes the only thing that has kept the forces of darkness at bay. These threats include a mysterious train with a face; colourful abominations created by unnatural means; an urban legend about a family hanged on a hill, and the most sinister field ever encountered. The second half, OTHER LIVES is a collection of fantasy and science fiction short stories that explores the unusual. What would it be like to date the concept of fate? How does it feel to be a video game character, abandoned by the player? See how a bunker of marines try to cope during overlapping apocalypses, and see whether a would-be terrorist can successfully recruit an AI to his cause.
