The Aleppo Button - Paperback

by Ellis Sharp (Author)

Stalin fakes his death, swims to England and starts a new life. Strange paranormal phenomena occur shortly before the pregant mothers of future American presidents go into labour. A purple mould spreads across Europe and a marriage collapses. In the idiosyncratic and distinctive stories of his first collection - now enlarged to include the contents of three rare early chapbooks published before it - Ellis Sharp synthesizes fact and fiction to provide dark, comic parables for our times.
