Possibly the finest writer in the country today, announces the back cover of this anthology of extraordinary weirdness.
Well, its certainly fair to say Mr Lines has the finest collection of characters.
Take the man who discovers that Twitter can be used in ritual magic.
Or the puppet master whose final show is a little too realistic.
The Chinese market stall owner who makes peoples problems and, indeed, the people disappear.
And the club for serial killers which isnt averse to showing its own members how its done.
Maybe trending topics actually do alter the fabric of the universe.
Whos to say that someone wasnt killed this morning by his own newspaper?
Are you sure that monkeys are completely innocent creatures?
Oh, by the way, this is happening.
And Im going to make it seem completely normal.
As with any anthology, there are bound to be a couple of lesser stories.
These are, however, minor criticisms of a collection that doesnt really deserve any.
