Gathering 14 short stories and a teaser of his up-coming novel, THE CLAIMED KINGDOM explores different universes, sometimes with humor, sometimes with sadness, and others still full of thrills and adventure, in genres such as sci-fi, terror, erotic, and fantasy. The true heroes of the first moon-landing, a zombie Jesus, an orgasm machine, a japanese suicide, a gay prince, aliens, the world's most famous wooden toy, a 'chosen one' who insists on not being one, and an angel hunter are some of the characters that will lead you on an emotion roller-coaster through the pages of this first compilation. After BEHIND THE MOUNTAINS, this is Oliver Meneses second book. He's a writer, screen-writer, director and publicist with more than 17 years of experience crafting stories.
