Welcome to the personal website of writer and poet Alex Russell

Introduction to iDream   Ice-Cream   iScream -
a playful thriller in verse

Shhh… Can you hear it?
There’s a rustling in the undergrowth.

Can you see it now?
Somehow familiar yet… it’s long and sinuous and menacing.
Strange… it looks like a poem… but it’s alive – it bites.

Enjoy the whimsy while you can. Innocence doesn’t last.

Meet a few of the cast:

People:
      Scarface - a gangster who knits scarves
      Marsha - a marshal partial to martial arts
      Weeny Todd the Barber - let’s just say he has an edge

Animals:
      A couple of dogs :
                Jack (the Ripper) - a bitter splitter of hares
                Hooch - a duty-free spirit
      Some tasty Welsh rabbits
      A bee with a lisp

And devils…
…oh yes, the devils.

A simple night’s sleep. Just the usual movements and sounds outside. The sleeper dreams… The extract on the iDream… pages will take you through one-third of the night.

There are two versions:

The first, iDream… has an optional ‘read it to me’ audio accompaniment.

The second, iDream… is more interactive, with links which expand and develop the characters and plot. (Also, text in dark red indicates a link to explanatory notes.)
