Flashing It: A Tiny Collection of Tiny Stories (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An unusual audition that changes the course of Hollywood movie-making. An unusual cookbook. Boltzmann brains! And more in this brief collection of flash fiction, in which not everyone has bothered to put on a pair of briefs. (And some can't, because they have no bodies.)

Excerpt:
This happened back when Hollywood was brand new--just a bunch of Jewish men congregatin' on a patch of desert to make pictures. They hadn't even figured out yet what a movie star oughta be. They were takin' all comers: pretty, plain, young, old, fat, thin, you name it. So one day the studio door opens and in walks this broad with her big hips wobbling. Mediterranean-looking she was, her thick black hair streaked with grey. They asked her name and she said "Baubo."

"And your last name?"

"Just Baubo."

She was a couple of eons old if she was a day. But they didn't know that, and they didn't know she was a goddess neither. If they'd known either o' them things, they might o' been warier.

Autorenporträt

Vivian Unger lived most of her life in Montreal, Quebec, where she graduated from McGill with a B.A. in Classics and Computer Science. In 2006, she moved to Fredericton, New Brunswick, where she currently resides with her husband. She reads widely in both fiction and non-fiction but her favourite genre is speculative fiction (science fiction and fantasy).

Her first stab at self-publishing was back in the 90's with Louis Rastelli's Distroboto (a repurposed cigarette machine) in Montreal. She sold a novella in a format small enough to fit in a cigarette pack.

Since that time, her fiction has appeared in the online magazines In My Bed and Inscribed, the anthologies Twisted Tails V: Apocalypses Now and Then and re:myth: Stories and Poems by the Blacktop MotorCycle Gang, and in the print magazine The Rejected Quarterly.

Aside from literary pursuits, Vivian enjoys gardening, cooking, wild plant identification and occasional spurts of knitting.
