There are twenty-eight teeth in the adult human mouth, absent wisdom teeth.

In this collection, there are twenty-eight stories. Similarly, absent any wisdom.
All, at least vaguely, toothy.

Why read it?

1 author picked Teeth & Crumpets as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is an absolute gem of an anthology. It's quirky and surprising, with humourous narrative voices wrapped around some genuinely dark shocks.
The stories are linked by a theme of teeth being mentioned in each tale, from the prettiness of a smile being the basis of a truly toxic relationship, to food being stuck between teeth forming the key part of a first date.
As a writer it was inspiring and joyous to see Joel Shoemaker having such fun with his theme and creating original story after original story.
