About this book

The Intangible Man & Other Strange Tales is a book of 14 short stories with a twist, as series of fantastical tales of magical realism. Slightly sci-fi, but perhaps more imaginative, or surrealistic, fantasy. Here are some extracts from the foreword written by John F. Keane:

"Unlike true science fiction, Sheeky's stories never dwell on their technical or scientific contents but rather focus on some psychological, philosophical or moral theme in the manner of Ray Bradbury or Robert Sheckley. However, the surreal juxtapositions and conceptual tangents that define his writing transcend the limitations of genre fiction, frequently achieving that singular vision which defines the highest literature."

Meet George as he discovers a door, magically appearing in his house overnight. Join him in an art gallery to notice his favourite painting changing, ever so slightly, each day. Meet the robot poet, deciding to write his life story on the night before he is switched off. Visit the world where sleep does not exist, where sleep is revered and feared as we fear death, and where the first sleeper is about to awaken.
