JOHN SAYE is a writer who escaped death, five months on a ventilator, and total-body paralysis to bring you his brand of surrealistic science-fiction and fantasy. His immune system tried to kill him, then attempted to burn his nerves away, nearly disconnecting his mind from his body. The treatment and slow nerve re-connections resulted in visions, dreams, nightmares, and numerous reality checks along the way, many of which are now working themselves into my stories.
A collection of three novellas and two short stories, Longevity and Other Stories, is an eclectic sample of John Saye's style. Learn how warped and confusing it might be to live forever. Follow a twisted tale of deep-dwelling aliens set against the backdrop of a London populated with rats and frogs in waistcoats and top hats. Find out what it's like to run away with the monster you love.
