Summary
Taut, brooding and densely atmospheric, these stories show us the ways in which murder can arise out of boredom, perversity can result from adolescent curiosity and sheer evil might be the solution to unbearable loneliness.

Perverted amoral tails
Content.
"Solid Geometry" A twisted murder with sexual overtones.
"First Love, Last Rites" Pregnant rats and lovemaking, anyone's cup of tea?
"Last Day of Summer" Desperate people find comfort on each other but have limited fillings for any person; this one is to my taste the most approachable but by no means expect any ordinary outcome or happiness.
"Butterflies" paedophilia and murder or an afternoon by the canal absolutely horrible; an exploration of the worst in humanity as if it was an unfortunate occurrence.
"Homemade" incest normalised for no reason with no moral, just incest.
"Cocker at the Theatre" the comedy, in the form of porno theatre. not funny.
"Disguises" cross-dressing a child by force, first awakenings all confused, no point just a tale that is inconclusive.
A very disappointing collection that took me places I had no need to go and left me cold and empty.

You’ll hate yourself for reading it
Strangely compelling, although I’m not sure exactly why. Definitely out to shock, and doesn’t have as much nuance as some of his later novels, but still worth reading if you’re feeling up to it!

Sinister but sympathetic tales of underdogs?
An inspiring and interesting listen. Not for the faint of heart and easily shocked. Maybe underdogs is not the right word, every tine. Perhaps some are society's low lifes? They are all given humanistic and rounded characters, although they are darker than the norms... Both repellant and fascinating. A series of car crashes.
