These short stories marked Jonathan Meades's fiction debut. They are black comedies, peopled with the sort of characters who lurk and linger round the back alleys of the mind, such as a dog who stars in bestial pornographic films and describes the slippery slope towards aniseed addiction.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'One of the funniest and truest writers we have. No one understands England better than Meades.' Stephen Fry / Praise for The Fowler Family Business 'Jonathan Coe meets Edgar Allen Poe.' Esquire 'By the end I was appalled by the extent of my own admiration for this nastily comic tale. This comedy is not so much black as draped in sackcloth and ashes.' Bel Mooney, The Times 'Indecently funny. Few novels are as lively as this.' Christopher Bray, Mail on Sunday
