Garnier's grisly short novels weave a profound and darkly comic tapestry of human experience.

Volume 2 includes Boxes, which tells the story of Brice, 'the sole survivor of the natural disaster that at one time or another strikes us all, known as 'moving house'; The Front Seat Passenger, in which a widower discovers his wife had a lover and decides to track down his widow; The Islanders, whose protagonist Olivier finds himself thrown back together with a childhood friend with whom he shares a dark secret; and Moon in a Dead Eye, in which the paranoia of the residents of a gated retirement village spins out of control.

About the Author

Pascal Garnier, who died in March 2010, was a talented novelist, short story writer, children's author and painter. From his home in the mountains of the Ardeche, he wrote fiction in a noir palette with a cast of characters drawn from ordinary provincial life. Though his writing is often very dark in tone, it sparkles with quirkily beautiful imagery and dry wit.

Kennedy;'Horribly funny ... appalling and bracing in equal measure' John Banville;'A mixture of Albert Camus and JG Ballard' FT;'Bleak, often funny and never predictable' The Observer;'A brilliant exercise in grim and gripping irony, it makes you grin as well as wince.' Sunday Telegraph;'Deliciously dark ... painfully funny' New York Times
