'Following the acclaim of his searing debut novel, Australian writer Nick Milligan returns with his first short story collection. TOMCAT FEELINGS is an excursion where nothing is as it seems, where reality and fantasy bleed together and the human condition is laid bare. Dark, funny, romantic and frequently depraved, TOMCAT FEELINGS is twelve tales from the mind that brought you ENORMITY. You've been warned.' (Publication summary)
