From headless schoolgirls, to talking food and threesomes, pretty much anything can happen in these witty, weird and wonderful short stories by Leone Ross.Ranging from flash fiction to intense psychological drama, magical realism, horror and erotica, these strange, clever, frank and sometimes very funny stories have a serious side too. Carefully crafted over 15 years, they explore unbounded sexualities, a vision of the fluidity of the person, and politics - from the deaths of black people at the hands of the police, to the deep shifts that signal the subtle changes in the nature of capitalism and much more. These stories may sometimes tickle, sometimes shock; but will always engage both the intellect and the heart.

Industry Reviews

"Flawless." --The Bookseller
"The finely controlled pacing yields an emotional clout as chilling as the times it evokes. Literate and accomplished." --Publishers Weekly
"There is a sense that anything can happen to lovers in this collection: hearts are sliced like deli meat, hymens scattered like fleshy confetti, and a woman waits patiently for her beloved's [wife] - his restaurant - to let them be together. It's a mischievous collection - sensual, explicit, violent, brooding and playful . . . demonstrating the breadth of her dazzling imagination." --Alice Slater, Mslexia
"These stories capture the complexity of women who have both strong passions and huge problems - the most fertile ingredients for exciting fiction." --Bernardine Evaristo, Guardian
"[Ross] is a pointilliste, a master of detail whose world materialises in clusters of precisely placed dots of colour . . . . as lyrical as Anais Nin, but less flowery." --Maggie Gee, Times Literary Supplement
"Chillingly real-- raw, naked in its desperation, darting to the edge of sanity and back. Ross has created a powerful story and unforgettable characters." --Booklist
"Leone Ross has a powerful style, a taste for complex organisation and a strong imagination." --World Literature Today
