Some stories will do anything to get your attention...

In this thrilling and unflinching debut collection, an eclectic group of characters struggle with the lure of the limelight.

A teenager escapes school gossip to hang out with a dead Tudor queen; a reality show applicant has a bitter axe to grind; a spiralling woman weaponises her cat's internet fame to keep track of her ex; a guest has a mute meltdown while reluctantly attending a silent retreat...

Attention Seekers is a tour-de-force of dark humour and social commentary, deconstructing what it means to take up space and be seen - and at what cost.
