"Brilliant" - Buzzfeed "Enlightening...entertaining...fascinating" - LitReactor "Read everything with his name on" - Tony Parsons "A little bit of Fellini/Fitzgerald in feeling" - Oliver Stone In these 24 short stories, author Tom Ward invites you inside a world at times heartbreaking, occasionally violent, and often perverse.
