About the author
Sawney Hatton
10 books132 followersSawney Hatton is an author, editor, and screenwriter who has long loved taking trips to the dark side.
Weaned on a steady diet of paranormal horror and creature features, he quickly developed an appetite for all things macabre and monstrous. With early literary influences as tonally disparate as Stephen King’s PET SEMATARY, Evelyn Waugh’s THE LOVED ONE, and Marquis de Sade’s THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM, he enjoys fusing the sinister with the satirical, the abominable with the absurd.
Other incarnations of Sawney have produced marketing videos, attended all-night film fests, and played the banjo and sousaphone (not at the same time).
As of this writing he is still very much alive.

Considering that the 1rst edition of this book had been on my TBR list for over two years, this joins the ranks of those books that I regret not reading earlier. It was clever, dark, funny, and enjoyable in the best way. I liked all of the stories, but my favorite would have to be "Suitable For Framing." This was both a thought provoking discourse on what art is, and an enthralling tale. The author states in the introduction, "How much you enjoy this story perhaps says something about what kind of fan you are." I could not agree more. I will definitely be reading Hatton's full length book "Dead Size" soon.

A better, fancier, cooler book than its predecessor (by 3 stories and some editing and other trickery that us author-types use to cause trouble).
My original review for White Spaces still stands, even with the lights turned out: An enjoyable collection of short fiction. I left the title story for last, and was not disapointed by its epic scope and range (although it did get a little wordy in parts... ;)

Why do they allow authors to rate their own books? It’s like asking parents if they think their baby is cute. Yeah, I think my writing is adorable, if you like freaky-looking babies.

Okay one of the stories was a little too weird for me. Otherwise I loved it.
