Slice of Life

Paul Haines

Fantasy Horror Short Stories

Ditmar Award 2010, Aurealis Award nominee 2009.

Paul places himself in stories that make you think twice about his sanity and good taste: ‘Explicit, violent, misogynistic and nasty... stories are heavily cemented in my real life, and I love blurring them into the unreal’.
