Talking to Ghosts at Parties by Rick White

My rating: 4/5

A clever and compassionate collection of short stories and flash fiction that’s suffused with dark humour. From the office politics of hell to the apparant demon who rules over a school cafeteria, many of these stories are both surreal and poignant. Luxembourg is one of my favourite pieces of flash I’ve read over the last couple of years. Tragedy and personal humiliation crop up again and again in these stories – not to be read if feeling particularly sensitive! Some stories will make you laugh, some cringe, and some may even make you (yes), cry. Well worth exploring!
