  Let’s be clear.  Reality is absolute and what takes place is both honest and real even if at times what happens cannot be fully explained. 
   
  However, in this collection our writers including W F Harvey, Violet Hunt, H G Wells and Amelia Edwards and others look at reality from a different angle.  What if reality had an extra layer placed upon it that we could see and feel and interact with and yet logically could not actually exist.   
   
  It’s a compelling premise as their characters roam the narratives of whether the present or what they are experiencing at that moment is real or imagined.
