What if, when aliens finally get here, they realize, possibly understandably, that they prefer animals to humans? What if the gingerbread man was more than an annoying biscuit? What do mermaids eat, and how do they make other mermaids? What if you could take an anti-aging medicine until you met your soul mate, and then grow old together? What if you took your life in your hands every time you went on a first date? All these questions explored, if not answered, in this collection of short stories. Blending fantasy with dystopia, real with unreal and bringing the blood back into faerie tales (who told you they were for children anyway?) Find out the real story of the three little pigs, get inside the mind of a stalker and read about the girl who might have accidentally become the King of England. It's all fun and games until we figure out the computer uprising has already happened.
