A collection of strange, unsavoury and downright bizarre tales, Weird Kids and Maniacs introduces the reader to some of the oddest characters imaginable. Some of these stories involve horrendous acts of homicide, as the title suggests; others explore the more sinister side of humanity as expressed in seemingly ordinary neighbourhoods around the world.
Four of them take place in Malta, while one of them is set memorably in the least-popular tourist destination on earth: Tristan da Cunha. Demented, outrageous, and quietly menacing: these tales will hold your fascination for a moment.
Scott Dunlop takes the route of short stories best travelled by literary luminaries like Roald Dahl, Ray Bradbury, and Stephen King to introduce the characters who dwell inside his imagination, so that the reader can also hear their clamouring voices.
