Analyzing the complexity, absurdity, and blessedness of seemingly ordinary people, this debut collection examines the metaphysical assumptions surrounding death. From the end of a relationship to the meaning behind its title, this anthology continually surprises and subverts, utilizing topics such as alien intelligence, reincarnation, imaginary children, and even conversations with Hitler s childhood pet. Engaging and diverse, this compendium offers a fascinating perspective on mortality.

Industry Reviews

"Space age Beckett." --"The Times Literary Supplement" "Space age Beckett." "The Times Literary Supplement"" "Shearman must now rank alongside Roald Dahl, Douglas Adams, even Philip K. Dick, as an outstanding and highly original storyteller." --Martin Jarvis, actor, Doctor Who and Titanic "Corrosively funny, wistful, sharp, strange and black as a coffin lid, Rob Shearman's collection is an addictive delight. The stories stay with you with the persistence of a witch's familiar entwining its tail around your throat." --Mark Gatiss, writer and actor, The League of Gentlemen "Space age Beckett." --The Times Literary Supplement "An excellent and highly imaginative first collection of stories by a writer who is not afraid to approach the big subject." --The Independent on Sunday "Space age Beckett." The Times Literary Supplement"
