Telling Stories
Steven Spalding has a secret: an anarchic, wise-cracking alter-ego named Eric Dombey. As Eric, Steven can be the man he longs to be; sharp, rude, funny and clever.

Wild, wacky, thoughtful, disturbing and very, very funny, this book will make you think twice. And laugh your head off. What the critics said: “When alter-ego Eric lets loose it is laugh-a-minute stuff. Concise, witty and very funny.” "Witty, irreverent, satirical, outrageous." "An absolutely splendid and entertaining book.” "Cunningly plotted ... fiendishly twisted." “Very entertaining. A clever and unpredictable novel.” “Stiletto-sharp. An accomplished debut.” “Deceptively casual, casually deceitful. Satirical, eccentric, compassionate, Telling Stories is a delight.” “A rambunctious, punning read.” “Carefully constructed, consistently comical.” WINNER OF THE REED / NORTH & SOUTH FICTION AWARD Buy Telling Stories today, because you could do with a laugh.
