My story, Somewhere On Sebastian Street, is a homage to my friend and fellow writer Gary McMahon, and was directly inspired by a story called The Row which appeared in his collection It Knows Where You Live. I’ve been a fan of Gary’s writing for many years, and have seen him blossom into a major literary force. As well as being both generous and genuine, he’s an incredibly lovely bloke. I’m deeply honoured to be appearing alongside him in this book, as well as with loads of other greats from the genre.
