Screaming and Other Tales

Your hands are screaming Moira explains watching my compulsively wringing hands. Youve seen things maybe even done things that you cant afford to remember. In the story that lent its title to this volume the unnamed narrator struggles to remember his past. But what is the past? In some of these stories a sense of the past creates the backdrop for almost prosaic characters in unexpected or unimaginable situations. In others the time and place may feel familiar even nostalgic but the events often exist outside the realm of normality. Teleportation in the office lunch room? A very real descendant of a fictional character? An alternate way famous artworks might have been created? An apparently ordinary old woman who may be an angel or perhaps a being our collective unconscious hasnt dreamed of yet? In this collection Harry Neils characters interact with his created realities of time and place in ways that make you laugh cry cringe sigh or groan. But the one thing you wont do is guess what will happen next.
