They cover a variety of themes and are more different, in style as well as content, than they are similar. As the author himself says, \"Some writers follow a path of sameness in order to satisfy their readers' desire for familiarity. To me that's like going to same country for your holiday every year. It's not me. I like going somewhere different every time.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tales range from Chinese fantasy ('Death of the Mocking Man') to science fiction ('Moby Jack'), to fantasy ('The Sculptor') to horror ('The Megowl') to ghost stories ('Hunter's Hall') - but for the most part they're just plain odd and refuse to slot into any set category.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of Moby Jack also includes the previously uncollected 'When the Music Stopped' by Christian Lehmann and Garry Kilworth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, if you like weird stories, dark comedy and tales where characters get into impossible situations and only occasionally extract themselves, then you'll probably enjoy this volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A selection of stories whose diversity, originality and poignancy leave me breathless with awe.\" (Claude Lalumiere, \u003ci\u003eLocus Online\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Garry Kilworth is arguably the finest writer of short fiction today, in any genre.\" (\u003ci\u003eNew Scientist\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"His characters are strong and the sense of place he creates is immediate.\" (\u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Kilworth is a master of his trade.\" (\u003ci\u003ePunch\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Kilworth is one of the most significant writers in the English language.\" (\u003ci\u003eFear\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 366\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47265635893497,"sku":"9780995752238","price":20.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/HdJG9asW6d9780995752238_46c3fe3e-aec4-4407-92f1-a00dcc3aadc2.webp?v=1768843735","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/moby-jack-and-other-tall-tales-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
