Space age Beckett. --The Times Literary Supplement Shearman must now rank alongside Roald Dahl, Douglas Adams, even Philip K. Dick, as an outstanding and highly original storyteller. --Martin Jarvis, actor, Doctor Who and Titanic Corrosively funny, wistful, sharp, strange and black as a coffin lid, Rob Shearman's collection is an addictive delight. The stories stay with you with the persistence of a witch's familiar entwining its tail around your throat. --Mark Gatiss, writer and actor, The League of Gentlemen An excellent and highly imaginative first collection of stories by a writer who is not afraid to approach the big subject. --The Independent on Sunday
