    About this ebook

    Welcome to the surreal world of Peter: A Darkened Fairytale. Some of the strangest ideas have been taken and twisted into a new selection of 27 Short Poems and Tiny Thoughts - Surreal Peter.

    As always, the poetry books give hints to the forthcoming novels in the Peter stories. Look out for more escapades throughout the year from Peter, Slip and their bizarre friends.

    For this moment, enjoy the confusing, sometimes illogical places in the realm of Peter. Go plunging with Seebright the lift attendant, enter portals to Snakedom and Boaland through Boyle the barber's opening head. Get ready to be hunted by the witch Heriot White, live in a magic box and soar with dragons. Take the 4.02 key and slide it into your mind for a trippy disturbed adventure.
