💊 GET ON THE PILLS! 💊
BLACK PILLS is a collection of genre-bending short stories exploring the unmitigated shit show that is our present reality. It features seven heroic doses of uncut gonzo fiction, each 110% guaranteed to astonish and confound.
“Garth’s work is not literary, and yet it is. He hides his considerable emotional intelligence under a bushel of belchingly funny, low brow humour and sickening concepts. I find myself throwing up and eating it up at the same time, which I put down to his talent for making me laugh while sliding a shiv-like human theme between my ribs, which is not so much a flex as a hex” – from Queensland Literary Award winner Steve MinOn’s foreword.
