Have you ever wanted to bump somebody off? Of course you have, admit it. Well, this is the case of the warring couple in 'What's Your Poison.' They agree that they can't live together and so decide the best thing to do is to murder their other half and make it look like suicide or an accident. Then the survivor collects the life insurance. All of a sudden the house becomes a dangerous place in which to live.
What if you're paid to kill? The young, female killer in 'Smoking Kills' is hired to waste an old hand at the job, but soon learns it takes more than just a gun and guts.
If murder is not your thing, then how about mutilation. This happens in The Freebie when a prostitute knocks on the door of an unsuspecting client.
Alternatively, you could just compete to be 'Top Girl' in an Oxford Street clothes shop. She uses underhand tactics, so it's not just humans who are immoral. But does she win?
These are just a few of the short stories in What's Your Poison and Other Ways to Die. Others include Satan, the afterlife and the drudgery of call centre work.
I hope you enjoy them.
