“Brimming with dark humour, empathy and a sharp eye for the uncanny, The Slip is an electrifying debut by an utterly original voice.”

The Slip by Miriam Webster is the first book to published by Aniko Press, the ten stories in this collection are dark, feral and completely unforgettable, full of strange encounters and big feelings. They are about the things we can’t hold onto: a marriage drifting out with the tide, a family collapsing like a wave, a young woman’s affair that dissolves as quickly as it ignites. You’ll find a whale watching trip going spectacularly awry, a potty-mouthed eel writhing its way to the sea and a grieving gardener seeking solace in the dirt beneath his nails.
