The Happy Seat by Greg Sisco



Mr Sisco's writing style is short, sharp and horrifying.

This is the tale of a "retard" (the authors words, not mine) who has fallen in love.

He makes a giant leap of faith and then promptly kills someone in some strange theory of eternal love, (gosh darn those postal workers!) eventually landing himself away from the "egg on toast" and on to the happy seat.

This story jumps from past to present tense several times, but is told so well you have no issues keeping up!

Is the true horror the rail-roading to the Happy Seat or the misguided love?
brilliant story, fantastic writing!




The Tenth Photograph by Greg Sisco


I love this authors writing style, short, snappy and mostly funny!


A tale of a lost love trying to regain interest.

9 photos are shared over coffee.... we never get to the 10th to show the true nature of what is going on.

Kept in suspense until the last sentence, very clever!

Not even close to the twist I was expecting!



One Night Stans by Greg Sisco



A story that is told over the course of a night at One Night Stan's stripper bar! 

Brilliant tale of some missing money, a mistimed phone call and FBI serial killer hunt that weaves all the characters together on this one night of mayhem.

This is so revolting good!

The tale is so intricate and cleverly put together, yet it is easy to follow with some hilarious characters!

The fantastic writing of Greg Sisco left me giggling at horrific torture scenes and then catching myself in a guilty pleasure; you can tell he had a riot writing this.

I learnt some nice new phrases! Hurly the half tailed human wont be far from my thoughts next time I visit Asda/Wallmart!

The Russian Bob legends are so awesome - worth reading the novel just for those one liners!

The climactic scenes at the end are like being on a a hijacked bus ride, splattering passengers as you go...

My first novel by Mr Sisco, I have just bought all his others... and will be looking out for more.
