Book review: That’s Your Lot, by Limmy

Short stories are the ideal format for suspense and intrigue. Readers are offered a brief glimpse into the world of a character and then the door is slammed shut. Brian Limond, known to his many fans as Limmy, may be a relative newcomer to the genre but he is no stranger to sketching weird worlds which you’ll either find hilarious or completely baffling, according to taste. The creator, director and star of the hit BBC Scotland sketch series, Limmy’s Show is back with his second collection of short stories, That’s Your Lot. Those familiar with his sketches will immediately recognise Limond’s unique blend of black humour, fantasy and social awkwardness.
