Steven Spalding has a secret: an anarchic, wise-cracking alter-ego named Eric Dombey. But can either of them be trusted?

As Eric, Steven can be the man he sometimes wishes to be, but then events in his life begin to slip out of his control and the boundaries between the real and unreal begin to blur – with astonishing consequences.

Wild, wacky, thoughtful, disturbing and very funny, this book will make you reconsider the whole concept of fiction and reality.

What the critics said:

"Witty, irreverent, satirical, outrageous."

"When alter-ego Eric lets loose it is laugh-a-minute stuff. Concise, witty and very funny."

"An absolutely splendid and entertaining book."

"Cunningly plotted ... fiendishly twisted."

"Very entertaining. A clever and unpredictable novel."

"Stiletto-sharp. An accomplished debut."

"Deceptively casual, casually deceitful. Satirical, eccentric, compassionate, Telling Stories is a delight. It'll stand a second reading to get the full complexity, the cross-referencing and allusions, the elegant recklessness."

A rambunctious, punning read."

"Carefully constructed, consistently comical."
