Born to Be Strange is an anthology of short stories, poetry and essays by Portland, Oregon author, Thomas J Turner. This material ranges from a grieving widow considering suicide to a carload of hit-men on a road trip. An outlaw street racer and his friends roar around in a 1957 Chevy, while a green kid attempts to survive Army boot camp. Also, a man grapples with the impending death of his mother, and wonders why he doesn't feel badly enough about it.

Angels, demons, giants, flying saucers, Stonehenge, and near-death experiences are all stories in this one book! Creation, the birth of Christ, the resurrection of Christ - all told by an angel that was there! If you have any interest in where the Greek gods came from, who built the pyramids, the future of America, what happened behind the scenes when Jesus Christ was born, crucified, resurrected and ascended, this just might be one of the most exciting group of stories you have ever read.

Lily is 92 and failing in health. Her family told her she was going on a little holiday, and although she finds herself still on her beloved Isle of Wight, to her horror she is now living permanently in a residential home at the mercy of Bridie, the 'horrible' one. To make what is left of her life happier she thinks about years gone by, and once again wonders about the strange disappearance of her 14-year-old sister Violet in 1897.
