A charming man betrays friends in the name of celebrity. Love blooms by the cemetery gates. A sour rain falls on the new young Queen divine. Shoplifters of the world unite in order to tug a reluctant aardvark out of a hole. A sweet and tender hooligan swings a three-bar fire like it was a demolition ball. The middle classes rush and push to rid the world of chavs. The death of a Miami disco dancer inspires a new TV show. A naked birthday rendition of ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’ is seen across the globe. Cranked up trannies tout their trade as long as there is light. Join contributors Catherine O’Flynn, Mil Millington and Mike Gayle for readings and discussion about this unusual anthology.
