It was discovered in an attic in North London, stuffed into a battered cardboard box, and unceremoniously delivered directly to Nick's doorstep. Inside the package lay one hundred evocatively absurd stories, one hundred humorous drawings of strangely familiar, quirkish glyphs, plus a cryptically poetic note signed only as "HH." (Possibly the well-known, eccentric billionaire, Hamilton Hasp?) In these stories--each consisting of precisely 100 words-strange creatures slip through alleyways, and eerie streets swallow people whole. Taken altogether, they may constitute a puzzle that no one has been able to solve thus far. Could there even be one missing story? For those perceptive readers with a curious mind, the celebrated author of Griffin & Sabine cordially invites you to find your own path through his beguiling conundrum of drabbles--or even to contribute one of your very own."-- $c from goodreads.com description. 650 0 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Short stories, English. 650 7 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901271. 650 7 $a Short stories, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117174. 655 7 $a short stories. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300202607. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787. 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726649. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740. 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Flash fiction. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 2 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20240416012523.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240206010609.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8825B048C4BD11EEB847D6DA21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
