Jigs and reels : stories

Large print ed.

359 p. (large print) ; 23 cm.

Faith and hope go shopping -- The G-sus gene -- The ugly sister -- Gastronomicon -- Fule's gold -- Class of '81 -- Hello, goodbye -- Free spirit -- Auto-da-f -- The spectator -- Al and Christine's world of leather -- Last train to Dogtown -- A place in the sun -- Tea with birds -- Breakfast at Tesco's -- Come in, Mr. Lowry, your number is up! -- Waiting for Gandalf -- Any girl can be a candykiss girl! -- The little mermaid -- Fish -- Never give a sucker -- Eau de toilette.

Twenty-two tales that meld the poignant and the possible with the outrageous, the magical, and, sometimes, the eerily haunting. Wolf men, dolphin women, aging monsters, defiant old ladies, suicidal lottery winners, suburban witches, and middle-aged manufacturers of erotic leatherwear -- in Jigs & Reels where the miraculous goes hand in hand with the mundane, the sour with the sweet, and the beautiful, the grotesque, the seductive, and the disturbing are never more than one step away.

Fantasy fiction.
