Professor Magneto and His Amazing Mechanical Man cover

Adult science fiction. Buzzwords: short story, voyage, distant worlds, alternative realities.

A collection of science fiction short stories.Professor Magneto and His Amazing Mechanical Man is a collection of short stories that will leave you in the outer realms of possibility. Whilst one story focuses on a bizarre circus act featuring a `mechanical man', another reveals a mysterious object floating above a remote Hebridean beach. The collection moves through various different settings, including a sinister `white room' where nothing is as it seems, and a lost planet on which a battle has begun. These short sci-fi parables come together to create a voyage through distant worlds, each distinct, but with one thing in common: a twist in the tale.

"Gillespie's imaginative collection feeds our minds with alternative realities, whilst also providing food for thought as we compare the abstract events of the book to ways in which our own reality can become distorted - even sinister. The fast-paced, jam-packed narratives feel much like a chaotic stream-of-consciousness. Resisting and interrupting the flow of normality, the mayhem within Professor Magneto avoids any attempt at mirroring the real world and its possibilities. This book will leave your imagination stimulated and mind wandering for much time beyond its finish." - Lilka Szerszynska
