'The Milky Bar Kid is dead. He bit the Californ-I-A dust. Popped yon popsicle clogs. Met his candybar maker.' - A. J. Kirby From gothic fairytale to humorous pop-culture satire, five of the North's top writers showcase the diversity of British talent that exists outside the country's capital and put their strange, funny, mythical landscapes firmly on the literary map. Over the course of ten weeks, Adam Lowe worked with five budding writers as part of the Dog Horn Masterclass series. This anthology collects together the best work produced both as a result of the masterclasses and beyond.
