Review:

wonderfully original stories...whose momentum never slackens, carrying you effortlessly from one improbabl e twist to the next....This is all round audio entertainment at its very best. (Guardian)

'An intimate pleasure' (The Times)

'Will undoubtedly confirm his reputation as literature's answer to David Lynch' (Times Literary Supplement)

'Unforgettable' (New Statesman)

'Excellent...always provocative and never less than engaging' (Daily Telegraph)

From the Publisher:

An eclectic, eccentiric and altogether brain-bending new collection of short stories from the cult Japanese author.
