"There are always people who find their lives have become so unsupportable they believe the best thing they could do would be to hasten their transition to another plane of existence.""They kill themselves, you mean?" said Bod. He was about eight years old, wide-eyed and inquisitive, and he was not stupid."Indeed.""Does it work? Are they happier dead?""Sometimes. Mostly, no.

An ounce of liquid weight loss and she could go back to being herself again. Usually."

It's such a relief to sit with my feet up on the wall and to know that if I never wrote another book science fiction is going ahead."
