Synopsis

These curious, entertaining stories are sometimes sharp, sometimes creepy, often clever manipulations of the totally bizarre and the real. In "The Velvet Throne", a man becomes locked in a public toilet where the graffiti starts to come true; and "Sloppy Jalopy" finds a young man suddenly turned into a magnet for garbage. Stories to keep young readers laughing, shuddering and reading.
