I am now, after a few stories, officially a fan of Nigel Bird.Beat on the Brat, with all its suffering both self-inflicted and external, left me feeling hopeful. Physical and emotional suffering is laid bare by Mr. Bird throughout the story, but in the end the is something so right about the story.In Snow-Angel, Mr. Bird again proves that revenge is a dish best served cold. It's a great little revenge tale, with just enough mood and character to care about the revenge. It's quick, punchy, a big bang to put all out.Hood winked gives us a shifting story set in a small town. Cheating. Murder. Blackmail. Deception. Great stuff. And a revenge that is both great and sick.Regret. Dark, cowboy, mob poetry? Very interesting. Very moody.Dance with Me is a lighter piece that's a nice lift. Funny without breaking the mood.  Characters that really enjoy life, in a very trashy way.There's so much more. Violence, hope, regret and even haiku. Pick this up, you'll be disappointed when everyone else has.
