Hughes, Rhys

RHYS HUGHES was born in Wales in 1966 but has evolved into a prolific writer of the kind of fiction he likes to call romanti-cynicism, blending elements of absurdism, surrealism, magic realism, metafiction and good old fashioned pulp adventure. He plans to write exactly 1000 'items' of linked fiction, chiefly short stories but also novellas and novels. He hopes the resultant story cycle will be at least as improbable and startling as a Spanish galleon overgrown with orchids.
