The three stories in this collection will take you to imagined lands where people trying to get on with their lives grapple with unexpected forces.
This collection contains the first appearances of these stories: "The Wedding of the Princess-King," "Take the Moon at Full, Now She's Changed," and "Earthfall." Cover by Simon Brom.
The World is Bigger than an Ell
Reality and subjective meaning come together in the life of one man. As
they spiral around each other, Darrin looks deeper into his life and the
world around him, and is challenged by what he sees.
Darrin develops a condition where he no longer sees things, but the shaped descriptions of things in this short story (approximately 3400 words). He suffers loss, and confusion, copes with love and family, and looks deep. This edition also contains two bonus items, "Because Love Resists Narrative," a villanelle, and "Meet Ashley's Neighbor," a short-short episode in a serial character sketch. Cover by Stephen Brom.
The Wedding of the Princess King (ISBN: 9781310490293) and The World is Bigger than an Ell (ISBN: 9781310762703) are available from the Phil Strobe pages at these e-book retailers.
