From headless schoolgirls, to talking food and threesomes, pretty much anything can happen in these witty, weird and wonderful short stories by Leone Ross. Ranging from flash fiction to intense psychological drama, magical realism, horror and erotica, these strange, clever, frank and sometimes very funny stories have a serious side too. Carefully crafted over 15 years, they explore unbounded sexualities, a vision of the fluidity of the person, and politics – from the deaths of black people at the hands of the police, to the deep shifts that signal the subtle changes in the nature of capitalism and much more. These stories may sometimes tickle, sometimes shock; but will always engage both the intellect and the heart.

"[Ross] is a pointilliste, a master of detail whose world materializes in clusters of precisely placed dots of colour... As lyrical as Anaïs Nin but less flowery, Ross sings of desire, jealousy and sex with an explicitness few literary writers dare to attempt, never forgetting to particularize the mind quivering in the electric body." --Maggie Gee, Times Literary Supplement
