Nineteen stories: nineteen diverse characters who will share their closest secrets with you. The artist haunted by a mysterious Chinese boy who never speaks; the girl whose murdered sister whispers in her head; the geneticist trapped in the body of a sow; the old man baffled by a peripatetic building. This is a unique collection - sometimes funny, sometimes eerie, but always surprising. Robert Dodds has been published by Andersen Press (Random House), Polygon, and A&C Black (Bloomsbury). His short stories have been anthologised by HarperCollins, and broadcast on BBC Radio Four. This is his second collection.
