Waiter! There's a- er, waiter in my maw!*
Surprisingly fun and subtle dystopian near-future-set short novel with 11 endings...
(*Don't worry, the book doesn't feature such 'jokes')

Pic of 'And Other Stories' by David Quantick with handwritten review: "I pre-ordered this excellent collection after reading just one of the stories. It's that good! Quantick's writing is fun, intelligent and immediately engaging, throughout this entertainingly eclectic mix of bizarre tales. From a single page to considerably longer, these stories from a screenwriter with credits from The Thick of It to rom-com are a fantastic read (& really quite odd!). As a bonus, buying this book supports Into Books - an innovative small indie publisher based in Glasgow. Get yours now!"
What to read, what to read, what to read-
This is what...
