A man walks into a bar with an Erection Taser™ his girlfriend has made him wear. A grieving mother clings to the memory of her son’s imaginary friend. A Foley artist recreates the soundtrack of his splintered heart. THE BULLY IN MY PILLOW is a collection of flash fiction (and one short story) by Kik Lodge with drawings by Jérôme Fage. It explores fractured humans through stories about GRIEF, LONGING and LONELINESS. It’s bleak, occasionally absurd, with gallows humour never far away.

Praise for The Bully in My Pillow
 
“Surreal, sexy and unsettling, the stories in The Bully in My Pillow are often so funny that — like one of its many memorable characters — you might end up urinating on the carpet with laughter. Brilliantly illustrated throughout by Jérôme Fage, in a style reminiscent of the drawings of Edward Gorey, this is a hugely satisfying collection which showcases Kikworld™ in all its demented finery (and very fine it is too.)” - Tim Craig, author of NOW YOU SEE HIM
