Daft Wee Stories will sate Limmy's existing fans and proves once again that his wickedly anarchic sensibility moves effortlessly between media.

Disturbing yet very, very funny, it's a shocking, scathing delight.

So good they'll make you snot yourself laughing.

The comedy book of the year.

The tales he treats us to are indeed both daft and wee; happily, they’re funny, peculiar and original, too.

Much more than a collection of daft wee stories. Some of his expletive-fuelled yarns are a match for the darkest, funniest Tales of the Unexpected. Brilliant.

A major cult favourite throughout the UK.

Impressive ... First-person narrators, their voices deceptively casual and conversational, draw the unsuspecting reader in before they strike. Against a backdrop of ordinary settings and pared-down realism, the arresting images, when they come, have an explosive force

A superb collection ... compassionate and knowing

Outstanding

A remarkable new talent ... He is able to tread so lightly that we only realise we have been cleverly punched in the solar plexus after we finish the last line

Sam Miller's memoir Fathers is ostensibly about a family secret. But its true subject is a family silence… The book is about ways to be a father, but also, more generally, about ways to be a man, from the 1950s to now. Should you be an intellectual, and write letters full of irony and wit? How camp are you allowed to be, or how fearful of homoeroticism? Must you be good at manual labour? Where do you stand in relation to class or entitlement? Should you be more interested in football than you are?

Morrissy has been compared to Joyce and Chekov. She’s brilliant.

Mary Morrissy’s persuasive stories sidle up to you quietly and before you know it have you wrapped up in their embrace… We meet people on the edge… in this resonant collection from an accomplished writer.

An outstanding collection…She is a true heir to Chekhov and the great writers
