A collection of 13, dark-humoured tales. Designed to make you howl.
Loosely linked but wildly different, they contain a host of memorable characters. Some are quite like you and I. Some, thankfully, are not.
In No Thunderbolts, a lonely man seeks company. In The Crab, a noisy neighbour gets his comeuppance when a mysterious protagonist dispenses her own particular form of justice. Gong happens in real time, during a concert performance. In El Camino, a pilgrim strays from the path, and at The Divorce Clinic, a couple offer a radical new take on marriage.
Several of the stories concern extreme reactions to everyday scenarios; in others, the reader is taken to macabre, and occasionally fantastical, settings.
They will both satisfy and leave you hungry for more.
