The Intangible Man & Other Stories is a short story collection of imaginative tales with a surrealistic twist. Consisting of ten years of work, several of The Intangible Man stories are award winning and have been published in other anthologies, but now all and more appear here with new pen and ink illustrations.
Meet George as he discovers a door, magically appearing in his house overnight. Join him in an art gallery to notice his favourite painting changing, ever so slightly, each day. Meet the robot poet, deciding to write his life story on the night before he is switched off. Visit the world where sleep does not exist, where sleep is revered and feared as we fear death, and where the first sleeper is about to awaken.
John F. Keane writes: "The stories in The Intangible Man are a little like those of Jorge Luis Borges – little gnomic parables that leave us questing for their inner meaning. Unlike true science fiction, Sheeky's stories never dwell on their technical or scientific contents but rather focus on some psychological, philosophical or moral theme in the manner of Ray Bradbury or Robert Sheckley. However, the surreal juxtapositions and conceptual tangents that define his writing transcend the limitations of genre fiction, frequently achieving that singular vision which defines the highest literature."
