The Body in the Mobile Library and Other Stories is a 2024 collection of short stories by author and critic Peter Bradshaw. [1]
The Body in the Mobile Library and Other Stories is a collection of twenty-one darkly humorous and macabre stories, often with a poignant, or absurdist, or nightmarish theme. Many of the stories were previously broadcast on BBC Radio 4 or published in Esquire.
Tommy Gilhooly in the Literary Review said the collection is "mischievous, often raunchy and always teetering on perversity". [2]
Emma Beddington in The Spectator called one story "compellingly gruesome" and wrote: "Bradshaw relishes the grotesque and improbable; his set-ups are outrageously inventive" but that "characters are sympathetically drawn and their longings, insecurities, vanities and weaknesses feel all too credible."
