The Tattooists Rebecca Temple

What do two confused islanders, one mute detective, one lonely Russian diver and a trio supernatural tattooists all have in common? Well, certainly not the same story, but they do all share one uniquely strange volume. The Tattooists (and other Tall Tales) brings together a collection of seven short stories that make up this first edition of Bizarre Fables Volume I. As well as bringing together 'The Hound Spectre'; 'Desolation in the Depths'; 'The Modern Day Diet'; 'A Wandering Senseless'; 'Vol de Fin'; 'The Tattooists' and 'What's in the Whisky?', this edition also has bonus creative notes which provide additional details about each short story. From a miniature zombie apocalypse caused by a cursed cask of whisky and a ludicrous murder mystery at the wold famous 'Troubadour' circus in a 1920s Paris, to a peculiar Tattoo parlour where the ink is definitely thicker than your blood. There are plenty of literary intrigues for those who don't mind mixing at little supernatural with an odd blend of existential themes and a dash of surreal humour. Have a wee sip won't you? It won't do you any harm, go on have try a wee tipple. Just don't go for the whisky.
