Steve and Melanie Tem have expanded the ideas in the original award-winning story The Man on the Ceiling to create a compelling work that examines how people find a family, stay together despite incomprehensible tragedy, and, in the end, how they find love.
Over a career of 30+ years, Melanie Tem received the Bram Stoker, International Horror Guild, British Fantasy, and World Fantasy Awards for her writing, which included almost a hundred short stories, twelve solo novels, as well as scripts, poems, and storytelling performances. At the time of her death in 2015, she left behind numerous plays, several of which had been produced, but none had appeared in print. These plays arguably contain some of the finest writing of her final ten years. FRY DAY collects the best of these plays, along with a selection of her poetry.
