Quick overview The stories in this collection range from the absurd: a world beset by a sickness that slowly turns everyone blue; a woman who rears a child that gets older, but never ages; a wife making friends with her husband's sex-doll - to the sublime: a man reconnecting with his estranged daughter through homemade movies filmed on a non-existent camera, a woman saving a child from a train wreck.

They are beguiling and utterly, unabashedly unique; each formed pearl-like, iridescent, lapidary and uncracked; reminiscent of Samuel Beckett, Lydia Davis and the fable-like stories of Angela Carter, yet unlike anything you've read before. They herald the arrival of a truly special fiction writer, capable of creating whole worlds in a handful of pages.
