Love is a chemical reaction in the human brain, a firing of neurons to indicate another member of the species might provide viable offspring. It's a biological reflex, like hunger or gassiness or getting whacked in the knee by a tiny hammer, neurological sorcery designed by evolution to perpetuate a species so mired in abstraction it lost sight of reality. Love is drunkenness, really, a self-inflicted intoxication that leads to some truly goofy decisions. But then so do werewolves, bad poetry, black holes and antimatter. Life's full of unfortunateness, it seems. So, brought to you by Dudley Wordsworth - famously NOT the author of any New York Times Bestsellers - are ten stories of love and laughs, of humor and horror, of sci-fi and just-fi, of LOVE... and Other Unfortunate Things. Contains the Short Stories:
