What if Lucifer finds salvation and the Grim Reaper befriends a dying woman? Imagine your child as Jack the Ripper reincarnated or have a drink with Andy Griffith and Mr. Rogers. Fallen and Other Stories will take you on a journey like no other, reacquainting you with well-known characters from a distinctive perspective, and introducing you to new ones that provoke a roller coaster ride of emotions. Fallen and Other Stories explores tales of redemption and retribution entangled in abuse, illness, madness and love. You will tour fantasy worlds with a few side trips into abject fear. James Lipson presents a wide range of stories, but all share a running theme of humanity. At its best it is reflected in the salvation of the sinful and at its worst it drives the kindest souls into despair and insanity.
