At the Molehills of Madness

by Rhys Hughes
At the Molehills of Madness by Rhys Hughes
Unrated

Cover art by Ian Simmons.

Rhys Hughes is unique.

His stories are unique, unclassifiable; some call them horror stories, though many say they are just plain weird. But in a good way.

During the 1990s, Rhys Hughes was a small press mainstay – a story in practically any issue of very magazine that was published, especially within the UK. And for the first time in paperback, we have collected many of these stories which are quite possibly so rare now that they almost extinct.

Rhys says this is his first – and last – collection of horror stories. Get it now before it's never seen again.

This collection is not for the squeamish, nor the religiously-minded, but fans of J G Ballard will love Crash with Supermarket Trolleys whereas Atheists will probably find Madonna Park a hoot. Either way, if you like your short fiction edgy, dark, surreal, off the wall, mad, disturbing, or if you just like to keep Rhys Hughes smiling and writing, then buy this.

Rhys Hughes

Rhys Hughes

Rhys Henry Hughes (born 1966) is a Welsh writer and essayist.

Born in Cardiff, Hughes is a prolific short story writer with an eclectic mix of influences, which include Italo Calvino, Milorad Pavić, Jorge Luis Borges, Stanisław Lem, Flann O'Brien, Felipe Alfau, Donald Barthelme and Jack Vance. Much of his work is of a humorously eccentric bent, often parodies and pastiches with surreal and absurdist overtones, although he is by no means limited to any of these forms and has proven to be extremely versatile. He has been published in Postscripts among many other places.
