Strange
“Strange” is a book of short stories about strange things happening to ordinary people.
When a fairly godmother shows up, or plants start eating people, it’s strange.

I definitely couldn’t see them out west.
I’m in south east Qld now. I haven’t yet seen one in the wild, but my daughter was watching one through her office window the other day. They’re not easy to spot. This is why: there’s five in here, but you have to look hard. (Taken at a wildlife sanctuary.)

They Do Not Exist
Vampires, werewolves, and such like do not exist.
Therefore the people who police them can’t exist.
So nothing in this book could possibly be real, as long as that first premise holds true.
