Strange Concentrate: a collection of very short stories. Each story is short enough to be read on an elevator ride to the top of a very low building, yet powerful enough to stay with you long after the building has fallen down.

Highly imaginative, highly entertaining, highly strange. Strange Concentrate contains forty very short stories plus one extra free.

Just add water. 

“A fabulously weird yet deeply philosophical series of vignettes on what it means to be human. Genius.” -BookaholicBex Reviews

“5 out of 5. An eclectic collection of very odd, very strange, very short stories. Each story is unique. I loved them all. If you’re looking for something you can read during those in-between moments, when you’re not sure how long you’ll be able to read but don’t want to be left hanging, and enjoy stories that are stranger and stranger, then you’ll want to grab this one!”  –The Faerie Review

“5 STARS. More MR awesomeness… like an idiot I did add water to this and I ruined the book, so I ordered another one, but it was totally worth it, it’s his typical wonderful stuff!” –Fabina, Amazon USA customer

“5 STARS. A selection of short, strange stories that sometimes amuse, that sometimes make you ponder your perspective of the world and your life, and that sometimes do both. A few of my favourite stories were The Missed Story, The Beauty of Innocent Andrew, Little Toe and especially The Anamorphic Baby… The price of this book is very reasonable, and it’s a lovely thing to jump in and out of.” –Liam Findlay, Goodreads

“5 STARS. Sends your mind on surreal excursions! If you have read Mike Russell’s work, you know that he is a master of bringing strange perspectives to your mind. Some of these stories are like Zen koans with a healthy amount of strangeness thrown in, some could be called surrealist parables, or excursions into a metaphysical Twilight Zone. Mike does for literature what Rene Magritte did for painting. He offers glimpses around the edges of reality. It’s a wonderful collection of mental journeys!” –J Barnes, Amazon USA customer

“5/5 Very strange, very rewarding reading… I turned the pages – Hit, hit and hit again… forty-one hits of Mike Russell strange that I recommend treating yourself to. Does it get any stranger than this? Nope.” -Glenn, Goodreads

“A true joy to read. His stories take you on journeys you have never been on before. This book is like if Rene Magritte, Edgar Allan Poe, and Monty Python all teamed up to write a book of short stories. I highly recommend this book.” –Miles, Colorado

“Thought provoking… Entertaining… If you want a quick and easy read that will take your mind in unexpected directions, I would recommend checking out Strange Concentrate.” –This Brilliant Day

 “Mike creates amazing atmospheres around these stories and they are written so well. With the short amount of words, they can transport you and make you think, then bring you back within a few minutes… I highly recommend this book, but all of Mike’s books are incredible.” –Books With Raven

“Another great collection of strange stories!” -Asriel Aquino
