The Fabulous Beast
“The creatures who live in that strange time-place which has always existed alongside ours do not like machines. They actually despise the wheel, let alone anything that followed it. These days we have cars, aeroplanes, mobile phones, computers, televisions, and all the rest of the modern junk. This ensures they want very little to do with us. It’s a sad state, but that’s the way it is.Indeed, since the industrial revolution fairies and mortals have, for the most part, gone their separate ways....However, there are one or two people – myself included – the name’s Jack by the way – who still seek ways of crossing over. Explorers of Otherworld. The rewards can be well worth the risk. And there is a risk. If you’re caught over there the chances of spending the rest of your life as something bulbous and loathsome, covered in warts, are pretty high. It follows then, that prolonged searches for fairy gold should not be one of your expedition goals. One should enter, snatch whatever is lying around, and get out quickly.MoreLess
