About the Book

This is a collection of short stories. Some of them are very short, some of them are even shorter than that, and a few are quite long. What they all have in common is that they are a bit odd. There's science fiction, there's horror, there's at least one fairy tale, and there are some Christmas stories, not all of which are heart-warming. None of them are entirely conventional. David wrote all of these stories for his own entertainment, He wrote them to see if he could write them, or because he had an interesting idea, or because he wanted to see what would happen if the dead could talk to us through car stereos, if gerbils were cell phones, or if if time was an ocean. Now you can see what he sees, too. We hope you like it. You better. David knows people, and not all of them are very nice.

About the Author :
David Quantick is the author of several novels (THE MULE, ALL MY COLORS, Go West), some of which are horror novels, some of which are science-fiction, and some of which are funny. He also writes for film (BOOK OF LOVE), radio (WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE AUSTEN) and television (VEEP). This is his first collection of short stories.

Review :
For as long as I’ve known him (and that is a tremendously long time) David Quantick has been one of the funniest and most original writers around. He’s tremendous with the unexpected word, the surprising image, the did-not-see-that-coming ending. All of these are deployed in this collection of stories, which he says he wrote to see if he could write. I suspect he really wrote them because nobody else could. And for this magnificently funny collection,we must thank him; plus I suspect he knows where we are.” Armando Iannucci David Quantick is a maestro of all forms. Rev Richard Coles
