Be sure: Chris Fielden is one funny feller.' - Allen Ashley, British Fantasy Award winner 'Sharp, subversive and always surprising, Chris's stories are like hiking without a GPS - you think you know where you're going but you end up somewhere else.' Dr Lynda Nash, creative writing tutor 'Extraordinarily good. Darkly laconic humour that made me smile, often when I felt as if I shouldn't.' - Sue Moorcroft, Writers' Forum 'Immaculately crafted stories that hold the attention through every unexpected twist. Keeps the reader surprised, amused and engaged.' - Dr John Yeoman, PhD Creative Writing, founder of Writers' Village 'Absolutely loved every story in this book - impossible not to like!' - Sara Rebotim, book addict and reviewer 'It is a book that has echoes of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, in the way it contains intriguing flights of fantasy while regularly subverting expectations. Read a few of these tales of the afterlife and you could well be dying to read some more.' - KM Elkes, author of All That Is Between Us 'There is excellent use of humour and the writing is colourful and bold.' - Anthony Howcroft, founder and Executive Chairman of InkTears '14 superb stories. Dark, sharp, funny, curious, sometimes gory and all interwoven with death. I was mesmerized. Christopher Fielden is a gifted storyteller and an outstanding wordsmith.' - Lesley Anne Truchet, cofounder of the 'Authors of the Flash Fiction Writing Challenges' Facebook group This is the first volume of the Books of the Bloodless series.
