Frankie Lassut: 32 books

I don’t like ‘write ups’ very much. I therefore suggest that you would read the book and be surprised. Evo said ‘but people may not hang around if you don’t tell them anything about the contents.’ ... I reply, well, there are many good writers out there so they may not hang about if I...

We hope you enjoy these little pieces as much as Frankie enjoyed writing them. Well, ok … he was locked in the cellar at he time. It’s a good job he likes being locked down there. Down there with Cedric, who seems to like him. Cedric is a gorilla, a male silverback, from the local zoo, who was...

This is a respectful tribute to the recently passed British horror author, the great, the well loved James Herbert. The four short stories have been written down by Frankie who channels the souls of who were great unknown British horror writers, James Turbot and Stephen Cling. October-Aurora-Sunrise. May...

I don’t like giving plots away, so ... These three stories have some awful bits in them. Of course they do as they are meant to be horror stories, which I like to call mind disturbance. The first one about the zombies has some good parts too, meaning good in the sense of ‘nice’, which is a bit...

Bus driving. A bit of glam job transporting people into the city and back home again. Driving onto some of the housing estates at night; scary. Having eggs or bricks thrown at you, when you’re trying to provide a service for people. Hating the job. Switching off for eight hours when you’re on...

When a place depends on a person or an event to tempt the tourists to depart with the sheckles, it is handy to have a famous person or an event to tempt the tourists to part with the sheckles so the locals can survive Winter, have cars, holidays etc. A lot of places have to lie a lot to make up a...

Well ‘whoopy doo!’ Here’s another little Quick Flash story. Again it’s in A and B mind movie form. The B part which is first (logic), tells another little part of a writer’s life i.e. usually about handling the huge amounts of money which comes to writers from their armies of adoring fans....

Next! I thought guidelines were for bringing a boat safely into harbour, not casting one out into a quietly stormy sea. It’s a place of low emotion, blood pressure checks all through the night; you’re shaken awake if you’ve dropped off. They say they’re looking after you, but it’s sleep...

Strange noises were heard last night at the graves of Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker. The sounds were a sort of banging and thumping said witnesses who were holding Black Magic ceremonies nearby; very popular these days with black magic ceremony kits being so cheap at the Pound Shop. It is thought that...

A young giraffe and his mother get parted in a wood full of juicy fruit trees. Feeling lost and abandoned he meets several friendly animals who offer him a helping hand. Suitable for younger children, and would maybe benefit from adult participation. Adults would enjoy this short story too. An enlightening story.

I don’t like giving my stories away, except with the sort-of-promise that I reckon you might enjoy this one. What I will tell you is: the story is about a plumber who is very good at his job. When he finishes though, he’s a couch potato. His wife is an overweight office worker who buys him a pressy. That’ll do.

This little Quick Flash extravaganza is actually ‘two’ Q F extravagan’zaz’. Yes, they have ‘zaz’! Can you believe that?!Two instead of one. Let that great news sink in, try not to faint. Through your tears of joy, look out of the window. The day has suddenly become more beautiful, the...

The North West, off the main tourist trail of the Lake District, is a fairly quiet place, which is why some city people go there for weekends, to chill out. But, go to a country pub and if you can get talking to the locals, or a local who has stories to tell, you may be surprised at what you hear....

Two Quick Flash stories about croaks which have nothing to do with frogs, but a few snook in from the Boggy Swamps of imagination land. The stories are in MY Friction style. That means factual, but with a decent helping of fiction.Both stories are about death, or ‘croaking’ … the frogs therefore...
