22 short short stories; 22 not so perfect lives, where bird watchers come out at night, couples perform love surgery, and a woman is throwing up animals.
The extraordinary is everywhere, but an unsettling familiarity pervades.
Playful, subversive, poetic and smart, Nik Perring’s stories are
gems. Every one of them.”

An unforgettable assortment of wonky connections that glitter with truthfulness, that spill out ache, that make me nod my head and whisper, yes.
Caroline Smailes, author of ‘Like Bees to Honey’.
Perring is a writer whose talent expands beyond his word count in this intriguing debut.
Michael Czyzniejewski, author of Elephants in Our Bedroom.
These short short stories are glorious ammunition to fire at those who link brevity with insubstantiality.
Tania Hershman, author of The White Road and Other Stories.
This marvellous collection resonates with a surreal impishness, exploring with a wry smile the often unfathomable complexities that underpin our relationships. He offers no answers, but demands that we look again. And again. In so doing he greatly enriches those who read him.
Vanessa Gebbie, author of Words From a Glass Bubble
Nik Perring’s moving and imaginative flash fictions capture whole lives in just a glimpse, a character, a snatch of dialogue, and a few perfectly chosen details. These short, short stories are so full of life.
Michael Kimball, author of Dear Everybody.
Don’t be fooled by the title, this collection of stories rubs shoulders with perfect storytelling on numerous occasions.
