    Holy hell, dude… I’m looking over the list now and just reading plot synopses is getting me unsettled.

    Honestly I think the two autobiographical books, “Boy” and “Going Solo” are probably better than the short stories unless you’re in a pretty twisted mood. If you’re in for the darker material, a random selection of short stories I liked:

    • “Mr. Feasey” is a very mild one that still has the Roald Dahl dark energy about it.
    • “Pig” is a deeply unsettling one.
    • “They Shall Not Grow Old” is haunting but quite good.
    • “Man From The South” is a fairly famous one that’s also very dark and unsettling.
