What happens when the ordinary turns disturbingly extraordinary?
A Different Approach and Other Stories * is a darkly compelling collection of thought-provoking tales from author Alex Grant—stories that twist the familiar, challenge perception, and expose the fine line between normality and madness.
Each story explores the unsettling undercurrents of human nature and modern society. From moral experiments gone wrong to eerie childhood memories and the consequences of casual cruelty, Grant’s writing balances sharp satire with haunting realism. These are not tales of monsters—but of people, choices, and systems pushed to their logical extremes.
In this captivating collection, you’ll encounter:
A chilling new form of justice where punishment truly “fits the crime.”
A council worker who signs a seemingly routine contract with horrifying consequences.
A man haunted by a childhood vision he cannot explain.
Ordinary lives unravelling in unexpected, often darkly comic ways.
Grant’s stories are unnervingly plausible—anchored in everyday details yet spiraling into moral and psychological unease. Witty, unsettling, and profoundly human, A Different Approach and Other Stories invites readers to question not just what happens—but why.
If you enjoy the moral unease of Black Mirror, the dark irony of Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected, or the quiet dread of Ian McEwan’s early works, you’ll be riveted by Alex Grant’s unforgettable short fiction.
About the author
Alex loves reading novels, but having grown up in the punk era, he also values writing that is sharp, direct, and entertaining. However, his stories are far from the literary equivalent of a simple three-chord thrash. Instead, they are layered and thought-provoking, inviting multiple readings to fully appreciate their depth and complexity. An economist by profession, his interests span the criminal justice system, the spiritual dimension of life, and playing bass guitar. He also enjoys the croquet game as quintessentially English as it is vicious.
