In this fascinating collection, Neil Leadbeater's characters are united by a need to make sense of the world - or, failing that, to manipulate it in a way that they can live with. Lawnmower racing offers one possibility; so does becoming Van Gogh's muse in a nameless art gallery or crafting bespoke scarecrows. In some stories, distance and destination exert a hypnotic effect. The end of the line might bring Cockfosters or Nowhere-in-Particular, both exerting an inscrutable appeal. Here is a cast of marginal people, condemned to (or freely choosing) life on the edge - if not beyond. Schooldays figure in several stories: that pocket world where the strangeness of life is first rehearsed. Throughout, the reader is taken on journeys they could never expect, down by-ways that make their own sense and have no need of any other. These pages are filled with memorable richness.

-Michael W. Thomas, poet and fiction-writer, author of Under Smoky Light and Sing Ho! Stout Cortez: Novellas and Stories.
