Narration Toward Books Everyone's Just So So Special

The history of the world. All of it. Its wars, its empires. Each and every one of its decline-and-falls. It's really terribly simple. It's the story of a bunch of mediocrities who are trying to look special. And it is my duty, it is my pleasure, to expose the lot of them.

A little boy who betrays his father to the mercies of Santa Claus. An assassin whose personality is so insipid he erases people with his very presence. A kitty cat that likes to hunt only endangered species. Camel marriages, killer angels, and conjuring tricks that cause worldwide plague.

The history of mankind. As told through twenty-one tales of the comic and the macabre. Frightening and funny. Heartbreaking and wise.

Robert Shearman's stories have won the World and British Fantasy Awards, the Edge Hill Reader's Prize, and the Shirley Jackson Award

Once again Robert Shearman has wowed me with his plausible wierdness, hilarious horror and the way he can make any normal situation insane. Loved this collection of short stories, my favourite possibly being the one about a little girl who makes a friendship with a threadbare and dying piece of sky. It baffles me that Shearman is not more famous but am glad to see that he rakes in the Hugos, Sci fi and fantasy book awards every year. He totally deserves them. And he's such a nice, friendly

Robert Shearman has worked as a writer for television, radio and the stage. He was appointed resident dramatist at the Northcott Theatre in Exeter and has received several international awards for his theatrical work, including the Sunday Times Playwriting Award, the World Drama Trust Award and the Guinness Award for Ingenuity in association with the Royal National Theatre. His plays have beenRobert Shearman returns with the follow-up to his British Fantasy Award-winning collection Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical, and once again, hes put together a superb volume of stories. As before, hes adept at combining the outlandishly fantastical with the minutiae of everyday life and relationships; but, whereas the main theme of his previous collection was love, here Shearman is broadly concerned with the relationship between individuals and the grand sweep of history.Separating the main

Every story in here is excellently crafted. I especially liked Times Table which is a wonderful observation on aging.



'Everyone's Just So So Special' is Rob Sheerman's third collection of short stories and it is, as usual, really bloody brilliant. Sheerman's writing has become more complex and layered than it was in his previous collection ('Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical') which was already much more complex than the writing in his first collection (the beautifully simple 'Tiny Deaths'). The weakest story in this collection is 'What's the Buzz', a story of sex, sisters and Jehovah's witnesses. Still an

Another wonderous, quirky, darkly humourous and, at times, utterly poignant collection from Rob Shearman, once of the finest short stories writers you'll ever come across. More ambitious than his last two collections, perhaps, with some stories that are truly masterpieces.
