Chronicles of Cosmic Nonsense
Absurdist Sci-Fi Comedy
The universe is vast, ancient, and largely indifferent to your problems. It is also, it turns out, spectacularly stupid.
Chronicles of Cosmic Nonsense is a series of short story collections set at the outer edges of known space, common sense, and authorial responsibility. Here you will find: a bureaucrat tasked with filing paperwork for the heat death of the universe; an alien diplomatic delegation that misunderstands the function of a vending machine with catastrophic consequences; a time traveller who arrives precisely on schedule but to the wrong Tuesday; and a sentient black hole that has developed, against all known physics, strong opinions about soup.
These are not stories that ask what it means to be human. They already know. It means making the same avoidable mistakes at an impressive variety of altitudes.
Written for readers who believe that the best comedy and the best science fiction share the same engine — a refusal to accept that the world, or the galaxy, makes as much sense as it pretends to.
For readers of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and anyone who has ever read a physics paper and suspected the universe is having them on.
