Here in be tales of many strange things, tales of murder, tales of villainy, tales of truths and lies. Tales of the early life of that most honest of gentlemen Hannibal Smyth. Tales of the Passing Place. Tales of the mundane made fantastical and the fantastical made the mundane. Tales of grim horror wrapped in satire, of the things that hide in the darkness and the things that hide in the light, and also of cheesecake, the sexual politics of pork scratchings and giving the devil his due. Here in then be many tales from the pen of a foolish scribe. An anthology of collected tales of horror, science fiction, steampunk, and fantasy by Mark Hayes Praise for The Hannibal Smyth misadventures
