As he found the boat's safety, a flood of realizations came upon him all at once. This was no boat he saw beneath him now ... it was a casket. His casket. It was unmistakable ... It was the last thing that Croc-a-Daddy Slim would ever see in this life ... Whether it be cats or killers, monks or butterflies, a mysterious smell or the rings of Saturn, an old clock radio or a wandering Samurai-all and more are brought to life in Craig Hubler's debut collection of charming short-short stories. Hubler caters to the restlessness and spirit of adventure in all of us as he shares seventeen tales guaranteed to keep anyone guessing right up until the end. Set in diverse locations like New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, the Monastery of the Five Stanzas, and a casbah in Morroco, Hubler weaves whimsical stories with realistic and interesting characters-like the sleep talkers given an extraordinary gift one evening while they sleep and Croc-a-Daddy Slim, the ruler of darkness and mayhem in the Big Easy. Through his first collection of short stories, Hubler will lead you straight into a magical world filled with fantasy and, best of all, surprise.
