Strange Concentrate
by Mike Russell
Strange Concentrate: a collection of very short stories. Each story is short enough to be read on an elevator ride to the top of a very low building, yet powerful enough to stay with you long after the building has fallen down. Highly imaginative, highly entertaining, highly strange. Strange Concentrate contains forty very short stories plus one extra free. Just add water.

This was an eclectic collection of very odd, very strange, very short stories. Each story is unique, with its own theme, and short enough that I was able to fly through the entire book in one sitting. I found that I could categorize the stories as eerie (but can’t quite figure out why), ones that made me think, and ones that were just straight up strange. (But I loved them all). If you’re looking for something you can read during those in-between moments, when you’re not sure how long you’ll be able to read but don’t want to be left hanging, and enjoy stories that are stranger and stranger, then you’ll want to grab this one!

Mental Health Resources for those in the USA – In light of the recent election, we want to put out a message that LGBTQIA+ and minorities are always welcome here. We may post promos in conjunction with tour companies that spout worldviews we don’t always agree with, but we do our best to avoid any openly phobic posts, and should you notice any, we’d appreciate you contacting us with this form to let us know.
