The Garden Of Bad Dreams

Christopher Hope

0/5 ( ratings)

A collection of short stories from Christopher Hope: a conjurer of strange places and displaced people. From the story of the entertainer who is compelled to collect small people, to the monk who pushes away a mountain from his monastery, we are confronted with characters who could have been plucked from a fairy tale and yet are very much part of our own world. Transporting us from the Malaysian highlands to an Ex-Servicemen's Estate in Badminton, from a zoo in the midst of a civil war to a forested hillside in central Serbia, "The Garden of Bad Dreams" is a constantly surprising, highly addictive mixture of the absurd and the darkly familiar.

Language: English

Pages: 144
