NOTE: If @relentlesspositivity's gorgeous reading of "And When You Survive This" brought you here, that story is actually from Peter's other microfiction book The Story Engine, and is also available as a print. You'd probably like this book too, and both books can be read in any order and independently of each other.
Postcards From Impossible Worlds collects 88 strange, surprising and harrowing micro-stories from The Shortest Story, a photo-fiction project from award-winning author Peter Chiykowski. Each page reads like a postcard sent from a life you never lived or a world that never existed.
On one page, the human race wakes up to discover the oceans have vanished. On the next, the Statue of Liberty comes to life and rampages down the coast to Washington. Anything is possible in Postcards From Impossible Worlds.
The volume also contains 13 stories narrated by Cecil Baldwin (voice of Welcome to Night Vale) and guest stories from Robert Shearman, Helen Marshall, Shawn Coss, Sandra Kasturi, James Mark Miller, Sonya Ballantyne, and Jordan Shiveley.
Bound in art paper covers with French flaps and a gold-pressed cover.

"A phenomenal book! Highly recommended! Dark, twisted, funny, sad, and mischievous all wrapped into one."
—The Happy Xen Podcast
"It will stab straight at the core of what it is to be human, and askew. They are both terrifying and reassuring, funny and cynical, cautionary and post-apocalyptic."
—Benoit Chartier
