A girl repeatedly chops her boyfriend in half but, while her 'other half'
multiplies, she is still not satisfied. Love transforms a mother working down
the chippie - into Elvis. Clary's father puts antlers on stuffed rabbits to make
jackalopes, but when her mother walks out on them, Clary has to help her father
if they are to survive. Beautiful, sharp and fearless, Costa Short Story Award
winner Angela Readman's debut collection is aptly titled, for each story packs
its share of explosive material. Exposing all kinds of prejudice - against age,
status, disability - the stories also offer quirky new strategies for troubled
lives. If Angela Carter is Readman's fairy godmother, then David Lynch is her
wicked stepbrother. Don't say you weren't warned . . .
