Publisher's Synopsis
About The Book
VARIATIONS ON A THEME
Six short stories and one novella comprising a second volume of short stories following A Montage of A Mauve Reality. Ranging from the fearful, the melancholic, the surreal and the bizarre, Unsound Minds and the novella Beyond the Rim suddenly broaden the scope of the experience. Meet a man who discovers his whole life is based on a deception, and a hard bitten corporate snoop sent to an outpost near the distant Kuiper asteroid belt, who steps into a far stickier problem than he ever imagined.

The winner of the Pacific Book Award Star of Exceptional Merit with For Your Pleasure & Questionable Behaviour, Taylor consistently earns high praise from book reviewers while continuing to surprise, interest and fascinate with unusual material in the novel, novella and the short story format. "Taylor's work is amazingly diverse" - US Review of Books.
