We recommend the following prescription: Strange Medicine - weird and wonderful stories for all that ails you. Strange Medicine is a fantastic collection of extraordinary tales of transformation by UK weird-fiction author Mike Russell. If you love the strange, surreal and unusual or if you are just looking for something different, Strange Medicine is for you.
Strange Medicine is really a strange medicine! The first pages completely blew my mind, it’s something I never read before. It’s like reading an abstract painting by Klint or Kandinsky.
Each story makes you question your and the author’s sanity. After a while the style grows on you when you get further into the book and you’ve read a couple of stories, it get’s under your skin and crawls it’s way into your mind.
This book contains 8 surreal stories, some funny, touching but most of all: weird! Talking telephones, repeated unnecessary habits and what’s more all show up in Russell’s stories. They make you laugh, think and question reality.Did I like ‘Strange Medicine?
If you’d asked me after the first story I would have given a complete different answer, but yes I did like it. Like I said it grows on you and becomes a part of your thinking.I got this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
