Sixteen stories that run the gamut of genres, from comedy to scifi to horror to crime, and span multiple centuries, three continents and two dimensions. Two pirates, stranded amongst a primitive civilisation with unusual ideas about beauty, find their preconceptions challenged and start asking deeper questions than pirates are used to. A pair of grave robbers get more than they bargained for when they dig up a serial killer. A scientist goes to extreme lengths to save her dying husband. A Japanese girl gives advice from beyond the grave. A gardener gets his revenge. A drug lord battles to save his career. A woman swears at a giant holographic paperclip. And so on. Full of unexpected twists, profound ideas and silly jokes. If you don't like them, you must be weird.
