In 'Crumbs', one of David Swann's stories from this collection for Elastic Press, a man on a train overhears the chatter of a group of travellers and says: "They shouldn't talk about things they don't know anything about." Swann doesn't.
That said, there are plenty of them in which Swann crosses the boundary from realism into fantasy, and writes with a biting humour, bucking the 'grim-up-north' cliche and sketching a strange League of Gentlemen brand of small-town life.
Swann trades the sounds, streets and smells of The North for different territory entirely in 'The Privilege of Rain', a non-fiction piece recounting time spent as a writer-in-residence in a prison: "jails are factories of fantasy, where the lathes spark with anecdotes, jokes, tall stories, lies, denials.

 David Swann's 'The Last Days of Johnny North' reviewed on the official website of writer, Laura Hird
Swann has a particular knack for evoking the unique sense of reality we have as children, when the lines between what can and cannot be aren’t so fixed.
Swann frequently employs a fragmented writing style that can be hard to follow (such that I wasn’t always sure if I’d grasped the point of a story) but is nevertheless distinctive and, in some ways, more ‘realistic’ than conventional storytelling.
‘The Privilege of Rain’ is an account of Swann’s tenure as writer in residence at Nottingham prison; though labelled as non-fiction, the author structures it as a series of vignettes that have the same feel as his fiction.
