I love a good collection of short stories. In an ever quickening pace of modern life the ability to pick up a book and finish an entire story quickly appeals to me. However as with all compilations there will be some that appeal and some that do not.
Whilst some really had me chuckling some were just severely eerie and dark. Some of the names I'd heard before, and some I hadn't. Some gruesome and some just completely absurd! Some particular highlights of mine were the stories by Ince himself; Phil Jupitus, Stewart Lee and Sara Pascoe, though I don't think I'd say there was a single story I disliked. Each sets out to do different things and regardless of the outcome none can be criticised for being unoriginal. This collection is an absolute must for horror and comedy fans, and fans of excellent writing in general.
