If You Expect The Unexpected It Won't Be Unexpected Any More. A Perfectly (Un)Expected Collection of Short Stories
Community Rating
Description
A mixture of light and dark.
A mixture of solemn and laugh out loud.
A mixture of sci-fi and fantasy.
There's something in here for everyone, but each story has something in common. They all begin in the real world - but each story has it's own distinct twist.
Have you ever experienced the corrupted underground scene of high school conkers? Gambling, dirty dealings, blackmail?
Ever met the girl of your dreams but wondered whether she's a vampire?
Have you ever met a dragon... made of cake?
If no is the answer to any of these questions, you ought to know what you are missing.
Matty Millard's collection of short stories is not one to be missed. Featuring the prize winning short story "Weapons of Mass Destruction", placed first in the GKBC Inc 2013/14 competition by crime novelist Tim Weaver.
I've taken the majority of the chapter down now as this is due to be published very soon, but Weapons of Mass Destruction is still there to be read. I will link to the published book soon!

- RznRoyal Road★★★ 2.5This is an awkward story that mixes a bunch of aspects of schoolyard antics that have the feel of delinquents in the making that sounded like a complete fabrication of something like those wind-up battle toys. Well. Nope. Conkers is an English thing with horse chestnuts. Context sorely needed I'd wager for most readers. This was an interesting read, but was rough in places - and that's assuming you knew what it was about in the first place. Could be much stronger with a little clean up and clarity of the context.
