About this title

Synopsis

Two Men in a Basket and Other Stories is another stylish and versatile selection from Colin Barker, with stories ranging from the hilarious to the deadly serious, but always well-crafted and thought provoking.
 
Lovers of The Shell and other Stories will meet old friends here, as always fighting against the odds but somehow bumbling through. But there are others not so lucky in their dealings with deathly plants, stealing property from the spirit world or living for the first time right on the edge.
 
Terror and tension run through many of the stories with a host of unexpected endings, but in the end it’s usually wry humour that wins the day!
 
So, if you want a toe-tingling thrill, to gasp at the unexpected, roar at the absurd or quietly nod in agreement this is the short story anthology for you.
