"Haunting, darkly funny situations, captured in crisp, spare prose, will appeal to fans of George Saunders."--Publishers Weekly

By the end of the day, a cop must choose between ethics and social death. A camp counsellor, stuck deep in the woods with a small group of boys, only has a few hours before the DTs kick in. Adult children scramble to get the best of what remains of their mother's estate, but funeral plans may be premature. Sandwiched between a depressed mother and a careless father, a young girl must help attract customers to the family business, no matter the cost.

The stories in No Call Too Small represent micro-scale disaster tourism on a winding road that is long and dark. Driving too fast, weaving between flaming wrecks, and drifting through cliff-side curves, there's little choice but to hang on and meet whatever's over the rise head on.

"Marten's strong prose is a pleasure to read, with dark humour and lively storytelling that brings a quirky humanity to his characters."--Janie Chang, Globe and Mail bestselling author of Dragon Springs Road
