Product Description

Review

Playful, subversive, poetic and smart, Nik Perring's stories are
gems. Every one of them. --3:AM Magazine

Don't be fooled by the title, this collection of stories rubs shoulders with perfect storytelling on numerous occasions. --Joe Melia. Coordinator of the The Bristol Short Story Prize

Product Description

22 short short stories; 22 not so perfect lives, where bird watchers come out at night, couples perform love surgery, and a woman is throwing up animals.

The extraordinary is everywhere, but an unsettling familiarity pervades.

Nik Perring's brilliant debut collection demonstrates the underestimated powers of brevity. Intricately crafted and filled with dark humour, his 22 stories examine the conundrums and contradictions of human relationships, and ask us what it is to be human at all.

About the Author

Nik Perring lives in Cheshire where he writes, mostly, short stories. He's been writing things since 2003, first contributing to magazines and newspapers before moving on to fiction. His first book, one for children, was published in 2006.

Nik's real love is short stories and his have been published widely, online and in print, in the UK and abroad, appearing in 3:AM, SmokeLong Quarterly, Word Riot and Metazen, amongst others. His stories have been read at events, been printed on fliers, and used as part of an educational creative writing course.

Not So Perfect is his first collection.
