People are showing up without any personal memories in their head. They don't know their family, where they are, or even their own name. It is a strange problem, one that those in the medical profession cannot explain.Luckily Ireland happens to have a detective who investigates strange problems that others are unable to explain. Filthy Henry is on the case...or at least he would be if the fairy detective was not missing in action. Meaning Shelly, the fairy detective's closest friend, suddenly has two cases on her plate. Figure out what is happening to everyone's memories and find where the fairy detective is.A fairy detective who she currently cannot stand.

Some legends are born. Others are made. Sometimes they happen by accident. According to legend, Queen Medb once tried to steal the magical Brown Bull of Ulster in order to become a god. Cú Chulainn, the powerful warrior, stopped her by single handedly defeating her entire army. Somehow Medb has returned to modern-day Ireland and is trying to get the bull once again. This time it is up to Cú Chulainn's descendant, Cathal Cullen, to stop her. The problem is Cathal does not know about his heroic lineage. Luckily someone has been drafted in from the fairy world to help him. Unluckily, that someone is Filthy Henry.

New Clients. Impossible case. Same fairy detective.Once again the Fairy World requires the services of Filthy Henry, Ireland's one and only fairy detective. Filthy Henry, as usual, wants nothing to do with the inhabitants of the magical world. But Shelly, his new partner despite never actually being hired for the job, has other plans.After all when a Celtic God hires you to solve one of their problems you cannot let a little thing like the bad manners of a fairy detective get in the way. Even if Filthy Henry does not exactly agree with such an assessment.

Filthy Henry is Dublin's first and foremost fairy detective. Something of a niche job since most people do not know that fairies are even real, let alone need a detective. But when The King of the Leprechauns has his crock of gold stolen by some humans he requires the services of a detective. Lucky for him Filthy Henry is just the man he needs. The only problem is nobody in the world can stand him. Which does not really bother Filthy Henry as he is not too fond of the world either...

Mortals magically murdered generally is enough to get Filthy Henry, Ireland's first and foremost fairy detective, involved in the case. But when those murders happen on Halloween there is even more reason for him to investigate what is going on. As the walls between Realms weaken, allowing spirits to roam the land, Filthy Henry and Shelly are in a race against time to ensure All Hallows Eve goes off without a hitch. Otherwise dead mortals are going to be the least of Ireland's problems...

What if zombies and leprechauns inhabited the same universe? What if The Wind in the Willows were faced with the horrors of the Lovecraft Mythos? Worlds Collide endeavors to answer these questions and several more in a collection of short stories containing knights, elves, aliens, arcade games, mummies, and much, much more. Delve deep into the absurd pages of worlds colliding, an experiment where authors introduce genres that seldom interact with each other.With stories from: Derek Power, Tim Mendees, Ella Ann, Patrick Winters, Rachael Boucker, L T Emery, Michael Nadeau. T J Berg, Charlotte Langtree, Joseph Dowling, Teel James Glenn, Deborah Dubas Groom, and Jasiah Witkofsky
