And he has an eye for odd details and macabre situations that is all his own.Stories include:Stubb - a boy named Stubb will prove he's a werewolf one way or another.Virtual Dragon - in the future Kung Fu movies will rule the box office and wars will be fought over the proceeds.Jesus Busts A Bronc - a special appearance by Jesus at a small town rodeo. A miracle? And what is Judas doing there?Bubbles: The Diary of Terrance Winslow - some neighbors are much, much worse than others.Snow White and the Seven Elves - how to win the kingdom and look good while doing it.Garbage Day - One never knows what's really in the garbage.Sixteen startling stories in all.About the Author:Arthur Slade was raised on a cattle ranch in the Cypress Hills of southwest Saskatchewan and he caught the writing bug at an early age.
