The Teeth of the Comb & Other Stories available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Wonderful short stories that sharpen awareness, from a brilliantly gifted Syrian refugee Personified animals (snakes, wolves, sheep), natural things (a swamp, a lake, a rainbow, trees), mankind’s creations (trucks, swords, zeroes) are all characters in The Teeth of the Comb. They aspire, they plot, they hope, they destroy, they fail, they love. These wonderful small stories animate new realities and make us see our reality anew. Reading Alomar’s sly moral fables and sharp political allegories, the reader always sits up a little straighter, and a little wiser. Here is the title story: Some of the teeth of the comb were envious of the class differences that exist between humans. They strived desperately to increase their height, and, when they succeeded, began to look with disdain on their colleagues below. After a little while the comb’s owner felt a desire to comb his hair. But when he found the comb in this state he threw it in the garbage.

My Lawfully Wedded Husband and Other Stories available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A bored wife begins a torrid affair with another man—only to discover, in the process, that her husband isn’t quite as dull as she’d imagined. A woman is approached by an old classmate to help cover up a crime. An old and eerie legend connected to the seaside town of Tharangambadi, ‘Tranquebar’, is invoked in the present day. A quiet civil servant who is a closet James Bond fan comes to the rescue of a colleague being harassed. Revenge is sought, wrongs are righted, comeuppances dealt out in this collection of black humour short stories. These stories are a mix of the macabre and the humorous; some stories more dark than funny, some more quirkily and quietly humorous than unsettling. All have a twist in the tale that adds a final, memorable touch to each story. Originally published by Westland in 2012, My Lawfully Wedded Husband and Other Stories is now re-released in an e-book only format, with two brand new stories added to the initial collection.
