Less Lonely Planet

Description

A collection of inexplicably joined short stories and tales from Rhys Hughes, the author who is to convention what apricots are to armadillos. 32 tales about life, non-melodic sounds, cats, adventures, love, bread, circuses, pyramids, ducks, and more! Since time immemorial, the planet Earth has revolved around the sun on its own, carrying one species of technically advanced hominids, a handful of basic urges, a dozen or so original plots. But a very slow collision with the rogue world Happenstance is about to change all that. The two celestial bodies will fuse together into a single object, doubling the surface area, trebling the population, quadrupling the number of resonant archetypes, multiplying by a millionfold the virtues of hyperbole! A less lonely Earth means more high adventure, more low morals, more medium rares. Oh yes!
