Reseña del libro "The Cloud (en Inglés)"
The Cloud is the debut collection of short stories for adults by Welsh author Lee Holland. Having previously written for children, this book represents a change in direction for the author. Included in The Cloud are 9 tales, filled with dark humour and misery. Whilst the cover may be cutesy, the content within is most definitely not! The Cloud - A mysterious cloud floats through a remote village, causing peculiar harm to those unfortunate enough to make contact with it. Papacosmas - In a futuristic world, Pigeons have taken over. Can a man dressed as a zebra put things right? William - William is a lonely old man. Does he eat children to keep himself looking young? Love Bites - When women no longer fear vampires and werewolves, due to the paranormal romance genre, Vladimir decides something has to be done. Apollo The Monkey - Apollo is a monkey, trapped in a zoo, longing to be free. Please note, this is a reworked version of the author's popular children's book and is probably not suitable for children. Pineapple Hands - Dean was born with an odd physical defect. When a demon makes him an offer, is it one he cannot refuse? Des Moines, Iowa - What's the secret that this little meeting place is hiding? The Reluctant Virgin - A young man is taken on an erotic adventure. Lazy Husband, Enthusiastic Ghost - When Rosalind has finally had enough of her repulsive husband, she decides to take the ultimate action. Here's what others have said about it. '' It was enjoyable to read the author's humorous treatment of sickening and gruesome subjects.'' ''Overall, this is an enjoyable read.'' ''There aren't many other books like this out there'' ''I thought it was terrible.'' 'I have to say I liked it, I'm his wife.' Warning, contains profanity, murder and amusing sexual activity.
