Don't Read This Book if You're Stupid

Paperback original. 8vo. Pp. [vi], 248. Illustrated wraps.

A collection of short fiction originally published in New Writing and the TLS, as well as some new stories. Issued as I Like Being Killed in the US. Selected by Granta magazine in 1993 as one of 20 Best Young British Writers. In 1992, Under the Frog became the first debut novel to feature on a Booker Prize shortlist.

Stories take the lid off the comedy scene in London, offer advice on driving during Romanian revolutions, give tips on successful and painless serial killing and demonstrate conclusively why no one should live in South London. "Sly and full of thirty-something angst. Although stepping into Fischer's world may be a dark and cynical thrill, a thrill it is." –Booklist
