Publisher's Synopsis
Travel through the jungles of Chile or to the surface of Mars. From the cover photo of a Sasquatch impersonator, to the final story about a memorable game of baseball revenge, this is an easy read, on the beach or at bedtime. Over fifty wide-ranging tales that will have you dwelling in the shadow of a "Big Dirt Hill" and surviving "The End of the World."
Maniacs abound in the ever-changing locales and personalities within Natural Selections. Meet Crazy Ernie, the neighbor from Hell. Ghosts, dual personalities and a disembodied brain are becoming aware of their situations. A driver on California's 405 times her ride exactly wrong. And who is this ax-wielding fourteen year old trying to cut off a neighbor's hand? Those are some of fifty-six tales to digest one at a time, or in batches. But there are nice folks too. Meet Kurt and Mary as they wrestle with four pounds of tuna, drive through a giant sequoia, or succumb to the dangers of black ice, tornadoes and drier lint fires. If you like books with beginnings, middles and ends, go elsewhere. This is a vacation from reality, an ode to short attention spans and a trip as weird as the evening news.
