|title=Posthumous Stories
|rating=4.5
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=These sixteen short stories have one thing in common: lives, and plenty of them. We jump from the earthy banter of a road crew building speed humps to an interview pre-broadcast of a classical piece where the interviewer isn't getting the kind of answers for which he hopes. On the way we meet the least-mentioned Beatle, visit a world where people are paid to read for the many that don't and the man trying to remember his father through art to name but a few. For good measure there are a couple of Kafka-esque experiments that also work as ripping good yarns.

|summary=I like short story collections. They're useful reading material when you're a mum of young children as you can usually manage to squeeze in a six page story at nap time, but you're guaranteed if you try to start that 500 page novel you've been meaning to read that just as it starts to get interesting your baby will wake up! This collection of crime stories is brought together under the title of ''Vengeance'' so, as you'd imagine, they are all to do with revenge and people getting or trying to get their own back.
