“…what might be dream in others, in Hughes, is material accessible to his waking mind. If Edgar Allan Poe were living, he could probably analyse it and tell us something about the Rhys Hughes who amazes us.” – Everett F. Bleiler
For more than twenty years Rhys Hughes has been producing carefully crafted parodies of his favourite authors, parodies written with love as well as a comic appreciation of the dark side. Now gathered together under one cover are the three parodies he regards as his finest. Three sly but deeply affectionate twists of the knife into the hearts of Poe, Lovecraft and Hemingway. He says they asked for it. Really they did. Honest!
FANNY FABLES by Rhys Hughes
An updated collection...containing two new stories.
Fanny is a fairy...beautiful, legs to die for...but as naive as they come.

For those that enjoy clever writing and intelligent humour...this is for you.

TEMPUS FUGIT by Rhys Hughes

IN STOCK
Rhys Hughes is a prolific short story writer with an eclectic mix of influences. Much of his work is of a humorously eccentric bent, often parodies and pastiches with surreal and absurdist overtones, although he is by no means limited to any of these forms and has proven to be extremely versatile.
Madonna Park is a collection of six sublime stories from a true master of words. Rhys Hughes is Wales’ best kept literary secret. Championed by the likes of Michael Moorcock, his unique fantastical fictions have already achieved the level of cult-status. His fiction is both intellectual and hilarious with plenty of puns and satirical side-swipes to keep the reader constantly amused.
