This is an interesting collection of short stories that area easy to read yet leave you with things to think about afterwards. I'd be interested in the author creating another collection or a full novel.

'Embuley had a long, thin face with an ashen, sunken and somewhat tortured quality that made him look as if he's survived a journey to Hell and back, and possible profited from it.'

If you like the kind of sardonic, darkly witty English story telling that is exemplified by the quote above, then you should enjoy this collection. The quote is from the title story which is the longest, and I think, the best of a good collection. Echoes of Neil Gaiman and Saki can be perceived, the latter in the black humour of these tales. I will be looking for other work by this author.

An excellent collection of short stories which have some good ideas behind them. A couple of them I found particularly gripping and this is definitely worth a read. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
