Published on March 21, 2009. .
Superheroes, wizards, spaceships, school bands, feasts - all the stories in this collection have been published in print in short story anthologies, four in India and one in Germany. The first four were in collections for younger readers, but will appeal, I fervently hope, to all those with an affinity for strange things. The fifth is set in the same world as my GameWorld Trilogy of fantasy novels
