Five Strange Obsessions

Professionally published author Alistair Ainscott presents five offbeat speculative tales: "The Thriller Writer's Workshop," "Tailor Maidens," "Occupy Stinking America," "Assailing the Void," and "Trinity of the Sands."
From hotshots with something to prove, a romance of bad breath and extreme plastic surgery, to one man's burden to atone for nuclear holocaust, it doesn't get much stranger.

Alistair Ainscott is a research scientist by day and a writer of strange speculative tales by night. He writes tales of science gone haywire, men gone mad, oddballs gone even odder, twin toddlers run amok, cats doing the things that cats are given to do, and other nefarious goings-on of the mysterious and the unknown.
His fiction has appeared in the professional-paying Penumbra magazine of speculative fiction from Musa Press, and he has also studied short fiction with Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith.
