'Sharp, humorous, satirical . . . a mind-bending collection.' - TLS

Household gizmos with a mind of their own.

Constant cold calls from unknown numbers.

And the creeping suspicion that none of this is real.

Reality, and Other Stories is a gathering of deliciously chilling entertainments—stories to be read as the evenings draw in and the days are haunted by all the ghastly schlock, uncanny technologies, and absurd horrors of modern life.
