Disaffected tourists idle through the streets and bars of Paris and Dublin. Office workers suspect each other of stealing cocaine at the Christmas party. Human Resource officers interview the stripper they frequent for a position in the firm (or at least they think it's that stripper). Pickpockets get pick-pocketed. Nobodies stage emergencies to save the day. Mediocre porn stars murder their co-stars to increase DVD rentals. Executives drop Ecstasy during the board meeting and realize their affection for the touch of their supervisor's shirt. Comics drop shrooms in the restaurant's sauce to get laughs from even the toughest of Monday night crowds. Jerk offs, ex-cons, new cons, pranksters, one hit wonders, and homeless entrepreneurs are the EMOTIONLESS SOULS that populate the twenty stories in this collection by David S. Grant (author of Corporate Porn and The Last Breakfast).

Emotionless Souls,
This review is from: Emotionless Souls (Paperback)
Emotionless Souls by David S. Grant is a wonderful collection of 20 vaguely surreal short stories, written in succinct, tight prose that perfectly sets the mood for each and every one. The collection starts with the account of two couples spending New Year's Eve in Dublin and ends with the account of one couple vacationing in Paris. Between these two we encounter (among others) a poker game gone wrong, an office prankster who goes to extremes, a one-hit-wonder, a white-collar pickpocket, and an accountant who isn't quite as boring as she first appears. Unexpected plot twists abound and make each of the stories truly remarkable.
