TALES FROM THE TOWER

Subversive Fiction by Fender Tucker

  Fender Tucker is not much of a writer, but as the editor of LOADSTAR, a computer magazine, he felt compelled to write at least one program or article for each issue. He also wrote short stories for each of the four ProseQuest writing contests that LOADSTAR conducted in the 90s. This 180-page book is a collection of the best fiction he has produced over the years, and includes He Also Serves, a utopian tale; Appointment in Savannah, an experiment in punctuation; Lucky John, a true-crime potboiler; The Vulveena Saga, an on-line romance; The Mojo Funk Caper, his earliest stab at fiction; two Harry S. Keeler pastiches; and the novella, Murder in the Monastery, the first Inspector La Mort mystery. Your Ramble House library is not complete without this obscure collection of, at times, seemingly random words.

  "When I was cloned from him, I could have taken all of Fender's literary talents, but apparently I left him a dollop or two." -- Knees Calhoon
