About the Book
The book that sucks the blood from children
The film that turns people into self-destructive sadomasochistic obsessives
The lunatic asylum that steals souls
The art exhibition of mutilated humanity...
where the exhibits are still alive!
John Llewellyn Probert’s latest short story collection – containing 18 delicious selections – mixes the cruel with the carnal, the sadistic with the sexual, the erotic with the outrageous, to bring you tales of a cuckolded husband’s terrible revenge, the television channel where you can pay off your debts but at the worst price imaginable, the man willing to do anything to improve his chances of success with the ladies, a marriage guidance counsellor who goes to bloody extremes to prove her point, the woman who will do anything to keep her family, and a city made entirely from human bone. All of this, and the last Christmas ever, just to make things even more cheery.
