  NOMINATED FOR THE 2023 BULAWAYO ARTS AWARDS FOR OUTSTANDING LITERARY WORK
  'In turn these stories are funny, poignant, at times shocking, but always deeply moving.' – Ian Holding, Unfeeling
  '[a] wonderful collection of short stories' – Siphiwe Ndlovu, The Theory of Flight
  'Bryony Rheam's short stories are skilled, perfectly formed, and compelling ... a deeply satisfying collection.' – Karen Jennings, An Island
  Whatever happened to Rick Astley? She imagined that he was happily married with children. A record producer, perhaps? That was the usual way with singers, wasn't it?
  From Bryony Rheam, the award-winning author of All Come to Dust and This September Sun, comes a collection of sixteen short stories shining a spotlight on life in Zimbabwe over the last twenty years. The daily routines and the greater fate of ordinary Zimbabweans are represented with a deft, compassionate touch and flashes of humour.
  From the potholed side streets of Bulawayo to lush, blooming gardens, traversing down- at-heel bars and faded drawing rooms, the stories in Whatever Happened to Rick Astley? ring with hope and poignancy, and pay tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  Eyes for the Blind - From their...

  Frederick Ignatius Cowles was born in 1900 in Cambridge, England. 
  This unfamiliar name is one of the gems of English supernatural fiction as well as several other works of travelogues, history, folklore, and children's books.  
  When his supernatural short stories, and some are very short indeed, were first published they were compared to the works of M R James and EF Benson, yet unlike those two authors he fell, unfairly, into obscurity. 
  In all he wrote perhaps 60 short stories with weird and supernatural themes. 
  Frederick Cowles died in 1948 although some accounts offer that it was 1949.

  "Glad you are open-minded most people just say I'm mad to believe in the star people!" said the Chicken. 
  "I believe in aliens!" said Blake. "You do?" said the Chicken his eyes widening. 
  "Of course we are aliens how could I not believe in us?" said the not-so-human Blake. 
  "I am not a Flat Earther or a hollow Earther. Nobody lives in the center of any planet," said Blake. 
  "Blake the Star People are real!" said the Masked Chicken. "No they aren't real still!" said Blake. 
  The Chicken pushed a News Paper at Blake."Aliens from the center of the Earth take the Human race to court for ownership of the planet!" Blake read. "Did you get this made as a joke?" asked Blake. "I never thought I'd say this to anyone!" Blake said, "Take me to your leader?" 
  "Who are you human I don't bother my leader with the rabble," said the star person..

  "It's our planet!" said the Supreme Leader.Narrators: Rachel Lawson as main narrator, Addison Fell as Alexa in Bad Omens,

  On a chilling night in 1994, a small town was consumed by chaos as horror movie clichés became terrifyingly real. Slashers stalked dark alleys, ancient demons awakened, and alien hunters prowled the shadows. The victims we've come to expect—like the Slutty Girl, the Stoner, the Jock, and the Nerd—were targeted, cornered, and left for dead.  
  But what if, just once, the story didn't end the way we thought it would? 
  **Archetypes of Horror: The Night The Tropes Survived** twists the familiar rules of the genre, offering ten flash fiction stories where classic horror movie victims fight back, survive, and find unexpected futures. From the cheerleader who outsmarts an alien killer to the goth kid who narrowly escapes a cursed fate, these stories breathe new life into old tropes, delivering sharp, suspenseful narratives that challenge our expectations. Each tale is packed with gripping suspense, moments of dark humor, and an underlying sense of dread that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. 
  For readers who loved **Creepshow**, **Goosebumps**, and **Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark**, **Archetypes of Horror** will be a thrilling and nostalgic ride, tapping into the universal fear of what happens when the familiar becomes deadly. Are you ready to discover what happens when the victims fight back… and when they wake up?
