About this listen

From a comic mastermind comes this brilliant collection of stories

Three teenagers believe they are witches.

A woman defaces a local billboard.

A bored landlord tries to influence his son's best friend.

A cul-de-sac WhatsApp group discusses eggs at length.

A heavily pregnant woman finds a way to time travel and a girl discovers joy on a stolen bicycle . . .

Each tale paints a life in miniature and offers an escape chute from the catastrophes of modern life.

Keep listening after the credits for an interview with Josie Long.
