Wenn wir uns nur die Zeit nehmen würden, ein wenig näher zu schauen, ein wenig tiefer zu tauchen, wenn gewöhnliches Leben schief wird, könnte wir die Welt seltsamer und unerwarteter finden, als wir es je vorgestellt hätten. Nachfolgend von Literarischen Überresten R.B. Russell 's bisherige Kollektion für PS Publishing, die zwölf Geschichten von Leave Your Sleep sorgen für Sex und Tod, Liebe und Verlust. Russell lässt seine Charaktere verschwinden, in alternative Realitäten schlüpfen oder ihre eigenen Geschichten neu schreiben. Sie finden, dass sie in der Lage sind, die außergewöhnlichsten Dinge zu machen, obwohl sie es vielleicht nicht sofort erkennen. Und wer hat die Kontrolle über ihre Handlungen oder die um sie herum herum herum? In An Unconventional Exorcism ist eine junge Frau, die behauptet, mit den Toten zu sprechen, so schockiert, wenn ihre Tante zurückkommt, um sie zu verfolgen? In der roten Rose und dem Kreuz von Gold, wenn ein Ingenieur in einer zerbröckelnden Stadt auf einen unordentlichen Mord stolpert, wer putzt sich danach auf? Und in Mathilde, was tun Liebhaber, wenn jeder gegen seine Beziehung ist? Diese und andere Fragen werden in Russells wunderschön eindrucksvollen Prosa erforscht.

Russell allows his characters to disappear, slip into alternate realities, or re-write their own histories. They find they are able to do the most extraordinary things, even though they may not immediately realise it. And who is in control of their actions, or those around them? In An Unconventional Exorcism , why is a young woman who claims to talk to the dead so shocked when her aunt comes back to haunt her? In The Red Rose and the Cross of Gold , when an engineer in a crumbling city stumbles upon a messy murder, who cleans up afterwards? And in Mathilde , what do lovers do when everyone is against their relationship? These and other questions are explored in Russell s beautifully evocative prose.
