''Dial M For Monkey'' is a collection of 20 short stories and flash fiction by Adam Maxwell first published in 2006. Maxwell's writing has been described in the press as a ‘Chandler-esque hard-boiled cocktail, stirred with equal parts humour, mystery, gut-wrenching realism, and trademark minimalism’,〔Chris Steib - (Buy A Friend A Book )〕 ‘weird, wonderful, twisted and witty’〔Modart Magazine〕 and even ‘almost Fawlty Towers’.〔Pulp.net〕 Some of these stories are of a traditional Short Story length but most are Flash fiction weighing in well under 1000-words. The twenty stories collected some of Maxwell's previously published work across the print and electronic mediums whilst also including selection of stories written specifically for this collection. Notably 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' - a flash fiction in which the main character tests this premise by placing a gun in the microwave - was originally featured in Dave Eggers' McSweeneys. ==The stories== * Happiness Is A Warm Gun * Shooting Jelly With A Shotgun * Jim Morrison's Leg * I Almost Spanked A Monkey * The Holy Face of Gary Barlow * The Beginning * Sherry For Breakfast * Sprouts * Rudolph Redux * Special K and the Yorkshire Terrier * A Stroll Along the Prom, Prom, Prom * Sandwiches * Self Assembly * Is That To Go? * It Happens * To Let: Ground Floor Flat * The Dangers of eBay * The Things We Said Today * Noise Abatement * The Cock Ain't Gonna Like That 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dial 'M' for Monkey (book)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
