6: A Family Visit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Previously in Edison City, the Green Moth and Samuel Superlative the Third were traveling back to Earth via chrono-frenometric tachyon portal unaware that another Samuel Superlative the Third had been left behind them on a distant moon, and meanwhile in the City itself word was spreading about Phenomenal Four telepath Audrey’s vision of the Future in which Super Soccer Mom’s daughter Tamsin was trapped in Frisbee form and embedded in the side of an enormous spaceship, and it was because of that
Revenge of the Tickle Monster (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The below story isn’t exactly part of the ordinary Catrina storyline: it comes in between, as it were, and was written while, or shortly after, I was working on Catrina in Space, the NaNoWriMo novel for 2011. Which explains the reference to the 2012 apocalypse, which of course didn’t happen. Anyway. Roll film! Neil was walking down the street.

Read excerpt
Cthulhu, Dread Lord of the Deep, had decided to end the world. With extreme reluctance, he'd been talked into accepting help. “It’s the latest thing,” the other Old Gods had said. “You'll love it,” they'd said. “Flarkhnngyh’ryn’dar’nah,” Mrg-Zoggoth had said, but no one ever understood anything the Shapeless Unholy Thing that Lurks in the Dark said anyway, so this was no exception. Now it was time, and Cthulhu, still reluctantly, readied himself. He reached an almighty tentacle towards an immeas
