## Description

A first collection of short stories from Patrick Gale, written over a ten year period 'Nattily subversive, sexually ambiguous, intelligent and disturbing. The prose sizzles with acidic observation' Sunday Times A funeral party ends in an unexpected manner; parents are faced with difficult decisions about their daughter; a housewife transforms her personality with a simple touch-up; a father's trip to his former school brings back memories of love he thought buried forever. From gothic thrills and twisted comedy to moving family vignettes, Dangerous Pleasures offers a memorable collection of Patrick Gale's brilliant short stories of marriage, sex and mortality. What readers say about DANGEROUS PLEASURES: 'This collection was special. Rarely have I read a short story collection where I enjoyed every story, each one unique from the others. I love the author's sly wit' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Surprising, memorable and with a good degree of humour leaning toward the macabre, each story in this collection is a gem' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
