Synopsis

"It's an open secret that David Hayden is one of the most interesting short story writers around. Why it's taken this long for his first collection to be published is beyond me but I, along with anyone with even the vaguest interest in looking at modernism anew, will be queuing up for a copy." - Eimear McBride

Hayden is one hell of a talent." - DAVID COLLARD || "Very, very fine fictions, which captivate and seduce the reader ...
