Wow. Tom Cardamone is one of those literary magicians you want to introduce all your friends to with the exhortation of: “Read this! It will change your life!”
A master of the fey, the macabre and the wicked, this delightfully oddball collection of short stories is testament to Cardamone’s roving imagination and incredible felicity with language as a force to seduce and to instruct.
From the devil masturbating on a train to a down-on-his-luck fairy peddling his hallucinogenic snot in order to survive to a mysterious box of chocolates left behind for his lover after a break-up, the range and tone here is quite staggering.
Each story is a gem to behold and savour. If you have never read Cardamone before, you are in for a real treat. This is definitely his best collection to date.
