Patrick Lenton is a playwright, fiction writer, and blogger at The Spontaneity Review. His stories have appeared in Best Australian Stories, Lifted Brow, and Seizure.
"'Featuring a colourful assortment of superheroes, mutants,
zombies, bank robbers and boy bands - these stories are wonderfully
bizarre, original and hilarious. A new and original voice, Patrick
Lenton's short stories bring qualities rare in Australian fiction;
inventiveness, humour, and a fine sense of the absurd." --Ryan
O'Neill, author, The Weight of a Human Heart
"Lenton careens wildly across genres and draws on elements of
surrealism, horror, fairytale, stand-up comedy, and pulp fiction to
generate tiny worlds that are surprising, original, and frequently
hilarious. . . .There are echoes of David Sedaris' surreal animal
fables Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk. Like Sedaris, Lenton is hugely
entertaining, which renders occasional moments of emotional
tenderness all the more poignant." --Bookseller + Publisher
