A grotesque, surreal and darkly comic series of tales about the most terrible family on the planet. Mrs Bott, an horrendous "unlanced boil" of a woman and Mr Bott, "a balloon of a man", are very unhappily married. Into this disaster enter two unwanted arrivals: The Bott Twins. Born bad? Or driven bad? It doesn't matter. What you do need to know is that: "If you ever meet the Bott Twins, run. Run and don't look back." Too few people take this advice and the results are not pretty.
