You do not have to listen to the trilogy in order because each book contains independent short stories and novelettes, which tie together under the theme of existentialism.

I was out of money and options when this mysterious woman offered me 5,000 dollars to get a tattoo. That seemed like a no-brainer.

This hilarious urban fantasy is the kind of comedy that might happen if Kafka and Wodehouse got together for drinks.

Distant Realms collects 13 works of speculative fiction by Chris Lester, creator of the award-winning Metamor City story universe.

Contained in this deceptively short volume are many, many little stories, largely in assorted scifi/fantasy/speculative fiction settings (and don't get us started on the Fairy Tales). They're often satirical, frequently sharp-edged, sometimes poison-tipped, and what's worse is, none of them show proper respect and reverence to Heroes, much less Goodness, Truth, and Light. This is clearly Very Bad, and you should stay far away from this book.
