“I have always loved short stories, they can inhabit any world from suburbia to the fantastic. When time is short and long distances need to be travelled, the short story has taken me to places i willingly want to go to. So whether you have five minutes to spare, or you want to escape for a while…join me and my love of the unpredictable. Welcome to Toyah’s Wonderful World of Weird. These are short stories to start your day or to take you into night world.
This is a world of strange, delicate wings and beautiful things but also, you will experience the darkness within. After all how beautiful is a flower if the pollen on its stamen can penetrate your skin. How wonderful is that car that drives itself if it doesn’t like you? In this world of stories there are devious spirits full of mischief but none more devious than humans. Secrets spill out of silent mouths, valentine romances over a candlelit dinner, where food for thought means you get eaten. Let’s blur the lines of all we know. This is my wonderful world of weird.” -Toyah Willcox
