There is a good mix of amusingly dark tales and poignant endgames to lives; his writing is descriptive but never heavy and he displays the hand of an author who deserves mainstream publishing. Buy this book for yourself, then buy it as a present because you won't want to give your first copy away and you can be in at the start of his career! </td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
