I have just completed reading 'Red Spikes'. It is a delightful collection of short stories that has really fired my imagination. My favourites were 'Winkie', 'A Feather in the Breat of God' and 'Under Hell, Over Heaven', yet each was a special little adventure into a surreal, yet familiar somehow landscape. 'Under Hell, Over Heaven' was especially thought provoking and brought up fears and thoughts so young and forgotton in me.

I read 'Black Juice' last year and found it terribly good. I have 'White Time' on my bedside table and will dig into it soon.
