About the Book

Zero Hours follows the fragmented intersecting stories of a range of characters on zero-hour contracts in Glasgow. A cleaner runs her daughter a bath in an unused guestroom, a waiter witnesses a violent crime, a virtual receptionist takes bookings for a burned down hotel, a server at a football stadium defies gravity, and a chef realises that his migrant colleagues have been invited to a "staff meeting" without him. The form of these stories, sketches and scenes reflects the fragmented nature of precarious contracts.

Review :
An astute vivisection of the joys and sorrows of the Gig Economy Generation. A collection that with deadpan charm unearths the humanity that lies beneath the alienation. - Fernando Sdrigotti, JOLTS A sharp and welcome album of snapshots into Britain's discardable-worker culture. McCracken chucks the corporate bullshit in the big bins out the back. - Ruby Cowling, This Paradise McCracken turns everyday working life into cryptic fairy-tales, cautionary parables and horror stories, revealing the absurd, disturbing and damaging reality of labour right now. - Jen Calleja, I'm Afraid that's All We've Got Time For
