Horror Stories for Children by Robert Rahula

Horror Stories for Children by Robert Rahula

Despite the title, this is a book definitely NOT for children. Here are 21 adult short stories from one of Spain's most accomplished and brilliant writers. Robert Rahula delivers a dazzling collection of contemporary portilla short stories - that writing style that interweaves graphic sexual detail, existential philosophy, wry political commentary, and intricate dreamlike plots. A large talking bear waxes philosophical on the nature of evil while eating pancakes. Scientists work together mapping the Higgs Boson particle while secretly plotting the seduction of each others' wives. A man joins the Bad Luck Club and learns the ultimate method for changing his luck. A lover of Thai ladyboys confronts the nature of desire. Pay phones that connect to God. Forbidden pleasures in a crematorium. A duck walks into a bar. All this and more in this wonderful new collection.

Rahula, Robert: - Over the past 30 years, Robert Rahula has published dozens books of prose and poetry in Spain and in the United States. While he remains relatively undiscovered in the United States, he is revered in Spain as the founder of the portilla style of popular Spanish poetry: non-metered fluid verse that deals with love, loss, bisexuality, separateness, and growing older. Robert was born in Spain to an American father and Spanish mother, but grew up in Virginia on the farm of his paternal grandparents. He returned to Menorca, Spain, in the 1960s to pursue his writing career. These days he travels in Europe, Central and South America for several months a year, giving readings and lectures, and spends the rest of his time writing, dividing his time between Spain and the United States. All of Robert's English books are available through Amazon Kindle, including his groundbreaking erotic novel Messieurs; his second English novel Panamaniac; his erotic murder mystery Island of Misfits; his surreal novel Day Another Paradise In; his acclaimed supernatural novel One Last Fling; his sexistential novel Conversations in a Belgian Bar; as well as his three Dan Landes Mystery novels: Bathhouse Stories, All the Yage in Reno, and Exigent Circumstances. Seven volumes of Robert's English poetry are also available on Amazon: Trigger Points; Inside the Locked Heart; Camino; Migration; I Sing the Body Politic; Wonderland; From Whose Bourn; an anthology of his English poems and short stories, Half-Life; and a collection of his most famous Spanish poems, Poemas Espanoles. Other poems, along with his blog on writing and his tour itinerary, appear on his Facebook page and on his website robertrahula.com.
