Proof That Lunacy Can Be Fun
By Sherry D. Hooker

If you like Science Fiction and/or Fractured Fairy Tales, you'll enjoy Strange Worlds Of Lunacy. The anthology is interspersed with artwork, cartoons, limericks, and other rhymes.

Stories such as Princess Lily's Wedding, by Robert J. Santa (a different take on the frog that gets kissed and becomes a handsome prince), are old tales told in hysterical new ways. One Paradox And A Funeral, by Colin P. Davies, will have you asking, "Am I my own grandpa?" And Instant Water, by Crystalwizard, may have you looking at that foolish idea your better half has, with a little less skepticism.

One of my favorite stories is- Billy Steadman, The Dragon, and The Virgin Bride, by Dal Merlin Jeanis. It's a typical western with a would-be thief, a banker, a mail-order bride, and a city dude on a stagecoach loaded with the bankers gold. Of course, we know the would-be thief (Billy Steadman) wants the gold and is not opposed to getting the girl, too. Ergo, Strange Worlds Of Lunacy plops down a, not so typical, dragon... right in the middle of the story. The plot thickens and the outcome is unexpected.

Tom Wallace's cartoon- Project Invasion- will leave you smiling. All-in-all, Strange Worlds Of Lunacy is a good read you can take in bite-size chunks and still feel satisfied.
