Cover art by Michael Smith
Fourteen short stories and one novella—as varied as they are, I like to think linked by a surreal quality. ‘George Coming Home’, ‘when The Time Comes’ and ‘As Custom Would Have It’ have a sentimental bent, whereas ‘Start Counting’, ‘Tattoo’, ‘Power Of The Press’ and ‘Rabbit Pie’ are brutally weird. After that it is personal: ‘Walt’ reveals some of my movie making world, ‘Continuing Saga’ reprises my years in advertising, ‘Knocker’ and ‘The Happy Time’ when I ran an antiques stall in Portobello Road and ‘Irish Joke’ because I am half Irish (my mum was O’Grady, you don’t get more Irish than that!). Leaving ‘Little Brown Men’ and ‘Very Good For The Ladies’—murder and danger cloaked by humour (my favourite writing ploy). Which leaves only ‘Don’t Look’, a shaggy dog yarn I hope you don’t interpret as ‘don’t read’!

Lettered It is our understanding that PS Publishing sold 26 lifetime subscriptions, as a perk of that subscription the purchaser would receive a copy of the signed state of a particular book but instead of a number in the limitation line, it would contain a letter, each subscriber was assigned a letter, in all other aspects the book is identical to the "Limited" copy.
