Angel, Demon or God? the difference is not always clear...
A cab driver's life is ruined when one of his fares turns out to be Satan in human form.
A rich man is forced to confront the bleakness of his soul and we discover why Satan decided to invent the Internet - and other examples of The Devil's Demonic Ingenuity
Meanwhile, out at sea, a boat packed with desperate refugees sinks and a frantic mother struggles to give her baby son a few extra, precious moments of life, a confused Angel asks God 'what, truly, is the greatest love of all?' and we learn that God and The Devil used to be best of friends.
16 curious tales from, and inspired by, the magical, mythical Land of Anywhere.
THE TALES OF ANYWHERE SERIES CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDER.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT 'TALES OF ANYWHERE': "Brilliant comic technique, and a glorious sense of moral outrage at the current mess in which our country seems mired, combine here to make a unique reading experience. Often laugh-out-loud funny, the real-life characters behind these innocuous fairy tales and fables hit you by surprise, a series of sharp rocks hidden in those snowballs. Amazingly, with all the faux-naievete and children's book elements gleefully displayed here, the writing never becomes twee or condescending. I don't know where this writer's been all his life, but I intend to catch up with him, and keep an eye on where he's headed next!"
- VINE VOICE
"This is the most spiritually and intellectually worthwhile and inspiring read I have encountered in a very long time...to me it is a humanist masterpiece on par with my favorite classists such as Faulkner, Lawrence and Bellow. It subverts conventional morals and doctrines while anchoring the plot development and the characters upon what I would call authentic virtues, Intuitive Knowledge and Intuitive Truth. Hennerley speaks Truth in this world of lies that shackle us from birth and asphyxiate us into death, all the while conspiring against our very vitality of the spirit. Thank you Hennerley for shining a beacon of light amidst such darkness we live under." - US REVIEWS
WHAT READERS SAY:
"The best book I have read since The Book Thief...the author is a storyteller rather than simply telling stories. There are a lot of authors out there but not many are true storytellers. My favorite story involved a dachshund and her search for a missing shoe. The imagery was so good I could picture how the story would be as a cartoon or film." ★★★★★
"I really enjoyed this...some stories can move you to tears because the story lines are so well thought out. Brilliant." ★★★★★
"Touched my heart. Stories full of love, hope, and accepting woven beautifully with whimsy. I couldn't put this book down nor did I want to." ★★★★★
"One of the best books I've read in Damn near forever! I feel like re-evaluating ever book I've ever rated or adding more stars to show how outstanding it truly is! Thank you for writing it Mr. Hennerley! I found myself savoring it bit by bit so it wouldn't end too soon, but sadly it is over and I must wait for another book as nurturing to my spirit." ★★★★★
"I loved this book. The writing style reminds me of Tanith Lee's "Tales from The Flat Earth"...Yes, it's a collection of tales, but so much more. It's a reminder that we don't have to stoop to the level of the powerful one percent. Humanity can prevail with decent and kindness. While it relates the ugliness in the world today, it also offers hope and love." ★★★★★
