The Asylum for The Strange and The Different

A selfish and self-obsessed woman suspects her young son is a 'falulah' (a 'falulah' is Anywhere slang that corresponds to words like 'queer' and 'faggot' in your world). Fearing the embarrassment of having a gay son and the threat to her precious Social Standing she conspires to have the child committed to The Asylum for the Strange and The Different - a bleak, nightmarish dumping ground for all those considered by society not to fit in.

Will the boy survive or will The Asylum destroy him?
A collection of tales about all that is seen - and unseen!

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT THE 'ANYWHERE' TALES:
"This is the most spiritually and intellectually worthwhile and inspiring read I have encountered in a very long time ever since my days as a theological studies student. To me it is a humanist masterpiece on par with my favorite classists such as Faulkner, Lawrence and Bellow. It subverts conventional morals and doctrines while anchoring the plot development and the characters upon what I would call authentic virtues, Intuitive Knowledge and Intuitive Truth. Hennerley speaks Truth in this world of lies that shackle us from birth and asphyxiate us into death, all the while conspiring against our very vitality of the spirit. Thank you Hennerley for shining a beacon of light amidst such darkness we live under." - US REVIEWS
"Brilliant comic technique, and a glorious sense of moral outrage, combine here to make a unique reading experience. Often laugh-out-loud funny, the real-life characters behind these innocuous fairy tales and fables hit you by surprise, a series of sharp rocks hidden in those snowballs. Amazingly, with all the faux-naievete and children's book elements gleefully displayed here, the writing never becomes twee or condescending. I don't know where this writer's been all his life, but I intend to catch up with him, and keep an eye on where he's headed next!... Bravo, Mr. Hennerly!" - VINE VOICE
AND WHAT READERS SAY:
"This is the best book I have read since The Book Thief and it has a slight feel of the Book Thief or Mitch Albom. The author is a storyteller rather than simply telling stories. There are a lot of authors out there but not many are true storytellers. My favorite story involved a dachshund and her search for a missing shoe. The imagery was so good I could picture how the story would be as a cartoon or film." ¿¿¿¿¿
"I really enjoyed this book...some stories can move you to tears because the story lines are so well thought out. Brilliant." ¿¿¿¿¿
"Touched my heart. Stories full of love, hope, and accepting woven beautifully with whimsy. I couldn't put this book down nor did I want to." ¿¿¿¿¿
"One of the best books I've read in Damn near forever! I feel like re-evaluating ever book I've ever rated or adding more stars to show how outstanding it truly is! Thank you for writing it Mr. Hennerley! I found myself savoring it bit by bit so it wouldn't end too soon, but sadly it is over and I must wait for another book as nurturing to my spirit." ¿¿¿¿¿
"I loved this book. The writing style reminds me of Tanith Lee's "Tales from The Flat Earth"...Yes, it's a collection of tales, but so much more. It's a reminder that we don't have to stoop to the level of the powerful one percent. Humanity can prevail with decent and kindness. While it relates the ugliness in the world today, it also offers hope and love." ¿¿¿¿¿
"Should be on everyone's must read list! Thank you, Richard Hennerley." ¿¿¿¿¿
