Description

"While reading, you'll be picked up and dropped straight into your own history while visiting various, imaginary neighborhoods...It's nostalgia at its finest.""M. F. Korn's richly detailed, highly idiosyncratic portraits of America call to mind a Bradbury on magic mushrooms...he's a Norman Rockwell speaking in tongues with a voodoo doll in one hand and a flaming paintbrush in the other." *Contents* An Introduction The Spectral Carnival Show How Soothing Are My Anachronisms Catch of the Century A Digging in Providence Who Are You, You and You? Is It Live or Is It Lysergic Acid? Going on a Submarine Ride Aliens and Minibikes About the Author -------- *An Introduction* This fine collection of short fiction, plus novella, are a nostalgic return to childhood when we all had innocence, faith and imagination. Decades 1 have passed with the writing of these varied tales -- some written in the mid 1980s, some more recent -- all of them fascinating in their own way. While reading, you'll be picked up and dropped straight into your own history while visiting various, imaginary neighborhoods and worlds. What an amazing ant of dates, details and deja vu in this collection! We glimpse a carnival that set up camp in a small town -- here today, gone tomorrow -- leaving behind a list of missing children. We enter a bizarre junk store filled with truly 'impossible' things. We experience a fish tale about discovery and loss -- a slice of life wrought with childhood disappointment, yet a grain of promise. We're questioned, "If you could bring back a famous person from the dead, whom would it be?" And we're then reminded, be careful what you wish for. We accompany a guy named Rick in a downward spiral toward insanity -- or is he right, and the world has taken cloning to a point beyond the extreme? We read on and shudder to ourselves: don't mess with them video manipulators! Then comes a tale with a question and a twist ending -- Will Daddy show up to take you to Disneyland? I thoroughly enjoyed every story in this collection, but my favorite would have to be the novella, "Aliens and Minibikes" -- a story about a neighborhood and some very believable boys and girls. It's a science fiction and boyish youth cocktail, that first amused me, pulled me in, then scared me. Won't tell you the ending, but it was good! I recommend this collection. You won't be sorry you read it. It's nostalgia at its finest.
