Corpse Talk: Dead Good Storytellers
By Adam & Lisa Murphy Publisher: David Fickling Books ISBN: 9781788451253 There are a lot of great books to come out of the David Fickling stable, but for me the best is Corpse Talk.

Please try to insert it into as many conversations as possible. Indeed, Fragmaggots could have been the title of this new volume. It’s a word […]
