Weird Lies

Science Fiction, Fantasy and Strange Stories from Liars' League

«

There are twenty four stories in this collection and you can open it at any one of them and be in for a good read. To me this is the mark of an exceptional short story collection and Weird Lies is a worthy winner of the 2014 Saboteur Award for Best Anthology.

WINNER of Saboteur 2014 - Best AnthologyThere's something about Liars' League that brings out the wildness in the writers' imaginations. Here we explore myth, fantasy, science fiction, and the indefinable what the - that makes up Weird. In true Liars' League fashion there is as much humour as there is darkness and poignancy. More than twenty tales, varying in style from stories not out of place in One Thousand and One Nights, to the completely bemusing. Discover mirrors that predict the immediate future and museums where your personal future life is exhibited in the kind of ephemeral objects that might normally find their way into a dustbin. Meet tadpoles, lazy assassins, and assiduous poisoners; observe deals with the devil, and workplace stress taken to its logical conclusion. Heroes, villains, and animals - anything and anyone could provide the twist in the tale - cursed travellers, persistent dreamers, aliens, robots and even ice might be the object, or source, of love. Stories from: Alan Graham, Alex Smith, Angela Trevithick, Andrew Lloyd Jones, Barry McKinley, C.T.Kingston, Christopher Samuels, David McGrath, David Malone, David Mildon, Derek Ivan Webster, Ellen O'Neill, James Smyth, Jonathan Pinnock, Joshan Esfandiari Martin, Lee Reynoldson, Lennart Lundh, Maria Kyle, Nichol Wilmor, Peng Shepherd, Rebecca J Payne, Richard Meredith, Richard Smyth, Tom McKay

Each story stands alone and is, frankly, just pretty darn good. I
love being handed a book that I’ve not heard of before (I was sent this
through Goodreads’ First Reads, so didn’t know exactly what to expect)
and finding that it is this good. The fact that the stories cover a lot
of different topics and take on many different styles also makes the
reading of it all rather inspiring.Weird Lies is an excellent anthology and if you’re feeling
like reading something a little different, something that you can’t just
compartmentalise into a handful of genres, then I suggest you grab
this.
