Summary
Another viciously hilarious, cultish collection of short stories from the author of the acclaimed The Suicide Kit.
A college reunion that ends in a bloodbath… A superhero too depressed to save the city… A man so deep in debt he is prepared to strike a terrible deal… A job that no one dares take… A doomed expedition… And a death-row romance…
In Cannon Fodder, the creator of The Suicide Kit takes us to a place where life isn’t just cheap, they’re giving it away.

Critics Review
Imagine Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected adapted for the screen by Tarantino and you’re pretty much there
Imagine Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected adapted for the screen by Tarantino and you’re pretty much there – Laurence Phelan * Independent on Sunday *
Genuinely excellent * The Sun *
Sussex writer Hayles has a dark, skewed outlook on the world and combined with a fiendish sense of humour, it makes these stories well worth the time * Glasgow Herald *
Hayles nails wildly different voices with a few short strokes, then washes it all down with a flagon of treacly black humour * Arena *
Hunter S Thompson would have loved these tales. Beautifully weird and told in deceptively simple prose * Daily Express *
Hayles offers a second dose of black humour and testosterone in equal measure…hilarious * Big Issue *
Roald Dahl on Ritalin * Time Out *
Hayles turns a wry, detached eye on the superficially reasonable ambitions of those driven insane by modern life…Hayles has a nicely twisted mind * Tribune *
Finely offbeat…original, dark, sick, nasty…and often hilarious * Sunday Sport *
Damned funny. Sharp, punchy, writing, well executed ideas and lashings of irony make for a gripping read * Knave Magazine *
