Curious Events Lately Occurring In This Neighbourhood: surreal and humorous short fiction from Tom Cox

"Tom Cox has become one of the most reliably readable and enchanting (not to mention hilarious) writers around."

Lucky, then, that Tom Cox is on hand to capture his plight in print. Curious Events Lately Occurring In This Neighbourhood also features an erudite badger; a poet-prejudiced bookshop owner and his larcenous young apprentice; a worried businesswoman spying on her ex-husband from a tree; a mysterious stone that gives shocking insight into true identities, and many more surreal and humorous scenarios. The second collection of short fiction from the Shirley Jackson Award-winning Tom Cox will take you on a wild ride through the portals of his psychedelic imagination.
