A man wakes up one day to find that a story is filling him to the brim, a story that belongs to someone else – someone who, in contrast, will feel quite empty in a story of their own. As one tale begins, entwined with the tale at book’s end, in between are other stories…
A horse-headed man, who stalks only those who’d run from him…
A child’s heart portrayed in a town of his own making…
A very urban take on colonialism…
A farewell by way of caterpillar…
Ranging from fantasy and horror to the terribly urbane, Once… is a collection of short stories, several of which feature dogs.
Although, one such dog may be a boy, depending on who you’d ask.
