Say hello to spring with 20 contemporary short stories. May Day has arrived in a gloomy Yorkshire town, and the storm clouds have parted just enough for the annual May Fair to kick off without a hitch. But how long will it be until the town's dark streak rears its ugly head? There's some very questionable meat on the barbecue, a chainsaw-wielding madman is on the loose, and a couple of aliens are trying to figure out if Earth is worth all the hype. The Morris dancers can't remember their moves, the maypole is commandeered by a ribbon-addicted feline, and an animal army is awaiting in the woods to set a revolution in motion. Will the May Queen be deserved of her crown? Will the Federation of Knitters finally gossip itself into oblivion? And will the Green Man get away with his usual mischief before the twisted trees scupper his plans? Silly, sweet and sinister, these funny short stories for adults are the perfect read for a lazy spring weekend. Catch up with some of the characters from the author's previous collection - Merry Bloody Christmas - or get to the know them for the first time with Come What May Day.
