About this listen

Reality is relative.

There is no such thing as universal truth. But lies are always lies.

From auctions to assassinations, from cosmos to subconscious mind, the roots feeding into these short stories start fine, but thicken and tangle as they grow deeper.

Follow these wayward souls through their darkest moments, each beginning with a bang and each trying desperately to avoid ending with the same.

A metaphysical, visionary exploration of the human psyche and all that it means to be real - discussed via an anthology with a difference.

I found the narration by Alan Weyman to be endearing and it was like listening to someone telling you a bed time story. I loved it!
The storyline itself was full of action and the scenes just kept you listening and waiting to hear what would happen next. A very colourful imagery described in this book and well worth the listen!

Great listen!

I was given a free audible code by the author in exchange for an honest review and had no expectations about it (one shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, after all). I have to admit; I was not prepared for this.
What immediately caught my attention was the writing. It's not just good, it's extraordinary. First person present is my favourite perspective, but few writers manage to get it right. Weyman does. His writing is witty, sharp and concise. There's never a dull moment between sentences. And the stories are brilliant! The different genres and the way they fit together got me praising and cursing the author in equal amounts.
Definitely the most original read of the year for me.
I recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a complex and well written story.

I was told it was quite “dark” and I don’t mind dark but this is……. “DARK”!!
But, you know what? every once in a while, you dive into something or somewhere you have never been before and this was that time and place.
Oh yes, was it ever! So glad I did. A roller coaster ride from start to finish. Good, evil. Past future, Space. It had everything. Well done Jethro!! Great effort and look forward to the next one?!

Dark, ominous and a roller coaster of a ride!!
