Includes the previously published E-story "The Vampire Who Doted On His Chicken." Praise for Fairy
BrewHaHa at the Lucky Sudden-like, a gang of fairies invades town. They’re
intent on robbing the circus, just arrived in town for a show, of payroll gold. But afore
the robbery, said bandits intend to get drunk on Fairy BrewHaHa, concocted, so the legend
in Fairyland goes, only in the Lucky Trouble is, Mick, who brewed said brew afore he gave
up sipping at his own stock long ago, can’t remember the secret formula. He better
remember quick, as the fairies get agitated and commence to breaking up furniture and
glassware. Trapped under the saloon piano by the furious fairy
folk, yer faithful narrator Tom Dooley (at-yer-service), plus gun-slinger Banky, one-eyed
gambler Casper, Mick the Irish barkeep and his soiled dove affianced Emma Drummond,
back-east dude reporter Sam Something, along with circus strongman Tom Murphy and his
mermaid wife Miss Lizzy (who resides in a water barrel), and don’t forget Charlie
although he’s asleep, and good ol’ one-legged Jack Thatcher, plus the circus
folk (except for Clementine, the elephant) must do battle—guns, poker, fisticuffs,
swinging parasols, and wooden leg clubs—with the fairy horde. We got ourselves a
saloon to save. |
