Alrightreads: Further scoops from the bottomless Rhys Hughes well

Rhys Hughes, Eyelidiad

1996 / Ebook/audiobook / 138 pages

****

Borderline classic of Gothic surrealism.


Rhys Hughes, The Crystal Cosmos

2007 / Ebook / 80 pages

*****

Inverse rationalism taken to its illogical conclusion.


Rhys Hughes, The Abnormalities of Stringent Strange

2013 / Ebook/audiobook / 205 pages

***

Hirsute pulp fun with some impressively deranged sci-fi concepts.


Rhys Hughes, The Million Word Storybook: Male Edition

1993–2015 (collected 2015) / Ebook

*****

After filtering out the crossover tales of the Female Edition and other collections I've read previously, there were only 11 new stories to get around to. There's not a significant difference between the two versions, which both give you more Rhys Hughes than most people strictly need, unless you're me.


Rhys Hughes, The Rhys Hughes Fantastic MEGAPACK

1995–19 (collected 2019) / Ebook / 319 pages

*****

A good selection for a possibly unauthorised best-of, with a few newer ones I hadn't read.
