|author= Christopher Fowler

|title= Bryant and May - London's Glory

|rating= 4

|genre= Crime

|summary=In the depths of the last [[Bryant and May – The Burning Man by Christopher Fowler|B&M review I wrote]] I said '' Of course, it's unbelievable, farcical. But then you don't come to a Bryant and May story for realism. You come for absurdity.'' Naturally, I stand by that comment. Fowler has concocted his characters and has no shame in shunting them up and down the time-line of British history as he sees fit.

|author=Alexander McCall Smith

|summary=''Problems with People'' is a meandering exploration of the relationships, big and small, that we form across a lifetime. Ranging from that of parent and child to that between landlord and tenant, Guterson’s observation of the complexities and nuances involved in how we navigate these personal links is extremely sharp and true to life.

~~|title=Burnt Tongues: An Anthology of Transgressive Short Stories~~

~~|author=Chuck Palahniuk, Dennis Widmyer and Richard Thomas~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Short Stories~~

|summary=Saying certain things out loud just don’t sound right. Some things are so disturbing or politically incorrect that you are best off leaving them inside your head, or better yet not thinking of them at all. When these words are spoken they could lead to the sensation of Burnt Tongue; an aftereffect of knowing what you said was wrong. Are you prepared to enter the world of Transgressive Fiction that aims to disturb, alienate, disgust and question?
