‘Graceful, dark, authentic and funny' Thomas Pynchon
‘You do not read Saunders' stories so much as watch them detonate on the page in front of you, like a firecracker some joker has slipped into your pudding' New Statesman

Welcome to Inner Horner, a nation so small it can only accommodate one citizen at a time.

So begins his brief and very frightening reign...
