Editorial Reviews

Possibly the most intriguing book on the list of thrilling publications from the house of Blaft... It is difficult to think of a way to encapsulate this collection of so many unusual and imaginative stories: other reviewers refer to them as dream-like. I think it better to call them surreal; also: intricate, ironic and frequently hilarious, though sometimes very, very sad.
