Paul Haines sliced through the Australian writing scene with his twisted and murderous black humour in 2002. He has since won many awards and praise for his dark and surreal stories. Paul places himself in stories that make you think twice about his sanity and good taste. 'Explicit, violent, mysogynistic and nasty... stories are heavily cemented in my real life, and I love blurring them into the unreal.' Published here together for the first time are the Ditmar winning story, The Devil In Mr Pussy; the Aurealis Award shortlisted horror story Doof, Doof, Doof; and the complete Slice of Life series, including the previously unpublished Slice of Life-A Spot of Liver.
