Author

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.
