Josie always liked to have a laugh. Why did everyone take life so seriously? "Let the party begin" was her motto. After the childhood she'd had she would grab happiness wherever she could find it. She embarks on an affair with her best friend's husband, with dire consequences. The party was about to end.
Mags always felt second best, accepting whatever life threw at her. Bullied by her father into a marriage that left her battered and worn, she plucks up the courage to leave her abusive husband. When she finds herself a new life he continues to harass her. Only his death can set her free.
Liz always wanted more from life. She was beautiful and smart. At eighteen she ran away from home to escape a tyrannical father, and marry her boyfriend, Sam. They struggled with married life, until his gambling became too much for her. A deserted wife with four children by the time she's twenty nine, she's forced to go back to her father's house. After years of affairs always settling for less, she finds herself thinking more and more of Sam. On the day she's burying her father she sees him across the graveyard.
Mary watched them all as she grew up: her mother and her aunts. They always seemed to go from one disastrous situation to another. She was afraid she would grow up like them. She never got over her father leaving her as a child. All she ever wanted was a normal family life. But no one was going to rescue her from her pill-popping mother, or her abusing grandfather. She dreamed of a day when her father would come back for her.

Come Sit on My Knee
Within the confines of Punktown, a far-future multi-species colony on a faraway world, Jeffrey Thomas weaves gritty sci-fi, body horror and a constant sense of alienation (in more ways than one) to tell tales of artists, aliens and assassins coming face to face with poverty, violence, disease, heartbreak and more. The viewpoints are diverse and not always human, the stories are all different and yet there's a great unity to this collection, most obviously seen in how characters from different stories are alluded to in other tales, but also in the common themes and the despairing but somehow still romantic and humane worldview underlining everything. Like John Claude Smith, Thomas is a writer who will drag you through the grime and gore, but will never leave you feeling grimy for having partaken of his fictions. This work may have splatterpunk roots, but there is a generosity of spirit and broadness of vision that makes it a real classic of modern weird fiction. This is where your journey through Punktown begins. You won't like it here, but you'll want to come back.
