Mostly funnier than it was spooky. I read this probably nine years ago and I think it had a grand influence on the way I currently write, it's funny how long things can stay latent in the mind.

A collection of very short stories by the guy who does artwork for Radiohead's album and merch. Unsurprisingly very dark, paranoid and completely messed up. Sometimes funny. Ridiculous. Some cool imagery, also. I actually really liked a few of the stories.

Like my initial hand-made copy better...

So dark. So funny. So grim. So good. Starts low and spirals even further. Fantastic.

Dark, disturbed, but somehow it lights a fire in me.

It's like a more menacing 'Without Feathers', with less comedy and more despair.
