Heartless Fainters Everywhere 13 Stories

Q. What is a Heartless Fainter and how can I become one?A. A heartless fainter is a person who simply accepts the way things are or takes whatever is given to him, rather than questioning the how or why something is. Trust me, you don't want to be a heartless fainter.Q. Why 13 stories, as opposed to say ten or 12?A. It's a baker's dozen, a little lagniappe. Also, for those familiar with the novel Hothouse Gods, 13 is a very relevant number to the author and his work.Q. Does it matter if one reads the stories involving the characters from the novel Hothouse Gods in this collection first, or vice versa?A. Doesn't matter. The five stories in this collection relating to the characters from Hothouse Gods can stand on their own without any prior knowledge of the characters.Barrows, Frederick is the author of 'Heartless Fainters Everywhere 13 Stories', published 2003 under ISBN 9781413436358 and ISBN 1413436358.
