JUST ONE LITTLE LIE CAN HAVE LIFE-CHANGING CONSEQUENCES.

When Robert (or Kidder, as he's known to his best friend) decides to impress at a job interview by making up a son, he discovers that maintaining the lie is far harder than he thought - so he invents a story that his imaginary child has been kidnapped. After all, it's not like they're going to find the fake boy.

But a few weeks later, Kidder receives a call to collect his non-existent son from the police station, a boy who looks exactly like the picture he photoshopped. Afraid to come clean, Kidder takes the boy home. And that's where the trouble starts...

Beyond Kidding is a darkly humorous, genre-bending work of sci-fi. Lynda Clark is a new talent to discover for lovers of Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Coupland, and Black Mirror.

Reviews for Beyond Kidding

`This is a remarkable debut, written with great warmth and wit. By turns devastating and hilarious, Lynda Clark's Beyond Kidding had me from the very start, and it didn't let me go.' - Sarah Jackson, author of 'Pelt' and winner of the Seamus Heaney Prize 2013
