Description
From a comic mastermind comes this brilliant collection of stories
Three teenagers believe they are witches.
A woman defaces a local billboard.
A bored landlord tries to influence his son's best friend.
A cul-de-sac WhatsApp group discusses eggs at length.
A heavily pregnant woman finds a way to time travel and a girl discovers joy on a stolen bicycle . . .
Each tale paints a life in miniature and offers an escape chute from the catastrophes of modern life.

JOANNA LUMLEY
‘Josie's stories are like her comedy – beautifully observed, strange, good-hearted, unsettling and truly funny. Read them immediately’
A. L. KENNEDY
‘I loved this short story collection. Funny, poignant, daft, and occasionally even hilariously cynical’
FRANKIE BOYLE
‘Josie's writing is everything I love about her stand-up: sharp and smart, hilarious and incisive, infused with love for the world and the complicated people who live in it. A joy to read’
MONICA HEISEY
‘Josie Long is my favourite comedian and when reading these stories, all the cynicism I’ve acquired gets replaced by the enthusiasm I felt the first time I saw her live’
