Description

In the cold wastes of the Midwest, a blizzard blows against John Henry.

Flying over an oil well in a private helicopter, Pecos Bill is caught up in memories of the past.

Preparing to lead a nature hike, Paul Bunyan argues semantics with a talking bear.

In the sweltering heat of India, 120 miles from civilization, Johnny Appleseed is drinking himself into ignorance in an animal testing facility.

Once pristine, the American West is now desolate. Struggle and disillusionment are commonplace among the people.

Opportunity is masked in exploitation. A novella in four parts, Tall Men and Other Tales is a journey through Modern Americana, preoccupied and made stagnant by nostalgia.

The Frontier is dead and in the ruins of the 21st century, the great myths of our past must rise up and claim their rightful place in society, or be sentenced to fade from memory.

From the Author of Spirit of Orn comes a thoughtful meditation on what it means to be an American through the eyes of our greatest legends.

A stunning work of Magic Realism, Stuart Warren's Tall Men and Other Tales is a testament to what Americans have endured, and a cautionary tale on the consequences of sacrificing our integrity. Included in this collection is selection of short stories, "Other Tales," Post-American myths that explore the conspiracy of prosperity. Featuring coma patients, super-intelligent factory workers, and black-op pixies!
