Dial M For Monkey is a collection of 20 short stories and flash fiction by Adam Maxwell first published in 2006.
Maxwell's writing has been described in the press as a ‘Chandler-esque hard-boiled cocktail, stirred with equal parts humour, mystery, gut-wrenching realism, and trademark minimalism’[1], ‘weird, wonderful, twisted and witty’[2] and even ‘almost Fawlty Towers’[3]. Some of these stories are of a traditional Short Story length but most are Flash fiction weighing in well under 1000-words.
The twenty stories collected some of Maxwell's previously published work across the print and electronic mediums whilst also including selection of stories written specifically for this collection. Notably 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' - a flash fiction in which the main character tests this premise by placing a gun in the microwave - was originally featured in Dave Eggers' McSweeneys.
