In this collection of short stories, William Thirsk-Gaskill experiments with conflicted characters and with many diverse points of view. He uses a pared down contemporary style in which each story is articulated using as few words as possible. These stories give a sideways view of outwardly everyday settings. The collection includes a ghost story, an unserious dystopia, a tale from the point of view of a kitchen knife, and three disparate cases of cyber-deception.
The collection includes 'How To Be An Alcoholic', selected by Salt Publishing for their 'Best British Short Stories 2018'.
'Something I Need To Tell You' follows the innovative 'Throwing Mother In The Skip', his debut poetry collection, which explores the conflict between the practical and emotional.
