The dumb Brum monster and other tales

By Paul Lester

Subjects: TV commercials, monsters, end of the world, Birmingham

Description: What the author describes as 'modest little pieces of fantasy fiction'. The first story, 'The Dumb Brum Monster', has what might be a Loch Ness Monster type creature mysteriously appearing in a provincial reservoir; the second, 'If This Be The Very Best You Can Do', gives a little twist to a science fiction cliche; and the third,'The Ninety-Ninth TV Commercial', features an individual doped up to insanity and hallucination on TV advertisements.
