For a moment I forgot how to blink, staring at the effect of The Cure inadvertently performing "The Lovecats" to this enormous beast.As the double ba.s.s slapped away and the piano tinkled the tiger responded by rolling onto its side in some bizarre display of trust.
My legs went from under me, not sleeping this time, just exhausted from the adrenaline.I crumpled into the corner of the lift just watching and trying to remember how to blink.

From the same author on Feedbooks Dial M For Monkey (2006) (2006) Adam Maxwell"s first collection of short stories is inventive, funny, dark, and hugely entertaining. Effortlessly fusing pop culture, gunplay, and simians, Dial M For Monkey contains a vibrant mixture of short stories - and short-short stories including "Happiness is a Warm Gun" which featured in McSweeney"s Internet Tendency.
The Night Before The Christmas Before I Was Married & other festive tales (2009) (2009) Charles d.i.c.kens has dominated the Christmas short story market for too long and he"s so b.l.o.o.d.y depressing... wouldn"t you rather read something that was funny, had comedy misunderstandings, people accidentally getting engaged and generally was a lot more entertaining and less depressing? Then you"re in luck...
Let"s be honest, Christmas can be a pain in the a.r.s.e (or a pain in the "a.s.s" if you"re from the other side of the pond) and this collection features some stories that I think we can all relate to...
Whether it"s becoming accidentally engaged to your ex when your fiancee is coming home for Christmas...
Or perhaps you"re spending Christmas with the in-laws, your wife is stupifyingly drunk and you destroy the presents...
No?
In that case you"ll want to see what happens when two master hypnotists clash over an argument concerning a Christmas tree...
All these things and literally two others are dealt with in this collection of Adam Maxwell"s Christmas stories.
He has asked me to tell you that he hopes these things don"t happen to you this Christmas. And he also hopes they don"t happen to him.
