Ian Wild's stories mix Monty Python with Hammer Horror, and The Beatles with Shakespeare, but his anarchic style and sense of humour remain very much his own in this collection of tall tales from another planet. Where else would you find vengeful organs, the inside story of Eleanor Rigby, mobile moustaches, and Vikings looting a Cork City branch of Abracababra?
Eamonn Sweeney
One of the very best collections of short stories I've read in years. I highly recommend it. The titles alone are worth the money. It is a creative, imaginative and highly original collection.
