About this ebook

'Tales for the 21st Century' is a collection of diverse short stories written within the last 14 years, featuring vampires, volcanoes, trees, skeletons, and other creatures. It could be considered light horror.
"I woke up to a vague smell of smoke and my first thought was that someone downstairs had burnt a toast again, or a neighbour upstairs had fallen asleep while cooking brunch after a night shift. Whatever it was, this recurring occurrence felt boring. Daylight was peeking from behind the curtains. Now that my brain was shifting into consciousness, I realized that if no smoke alarm was screaming abuse into my ears then no food was being cooked to a cinder." (The End of the World)
"It was still early in the morning and no one had noticed the womon sleeping soundly on a bench. The sun was up, but fortunately the tall trees with long branches reaching over the path were spreading their shadows wide. Within a millisecond I was by her side and spreading my cloak over the suggestive curves of her naked body." (The Faithful Hound)

Author

W. Freedreamer Tinkanesh

Little is known about the apparently quiet W. Freedreamer Tinkanesh. The few unearthed bones are still disconnected: dreams, books, no gender, tattoos, wolves, invisible energies, permanent puzzlement. W would be (in alphabetical order) a versatile artist, a chocolate fiend, an independent musician, and a tree hugger. The cats know more, but refuse to talk: one will stare you down; the other one will fight you. W’s writings have appeared in unknown, obscure zines and in the last ten years in various anthologies: ‘Write Now’ (UK, 2001), ‘Threads’ (UK, 2009, edited by Cassandra Lee aka Shawn-A-Lee McCutcheon-Bell), ‘Eclectica’ (2011, edited by Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc), 'No One Makes It Out Alive' (2012, edited by Hydra M. Star), 'Blessings from the Darkness' (2014), The Ladies and Gentlemen of Horror 2014 (2014, edited by Jennifer L. Miller), The Ladies and Gentlemen of Horror 2017 (2017, edited by Jennifer L. Miller). W is the author of novel 'Outsider' (2012) and collection of short stories 'Tales for the 21st Century' (2014). W. Freedreamer Tinkanesh was a member of The Gothic Creatives Association, and The Bermondsey Square Writers.
