Ugly Beautiful is an anthology of paradoxes. Absurd, poignant and disconcerting, each story touches on loneliness, the search for happiness, and the often extreme measures necessary to achieve it. A youtuber at a crossroads, a killer couple on the prowl, an art-terrorist unveiling her greatest work, a sister facing unbearable loss, a teenager with a pickled, talking foetus in a jar...Lyrical and dark, mixing black humour with the humanity of every day, Ugly Beautiful is a set of stories which will linger long after the final page is closed.
