With <em>Laughs in Space </em>Donna looked for incisive science-fiction stories from the cream of the genre's contemporary authors but with a funny twist. Stories that are funny quirky eyebrow-raising and heartwarming - or bleak and sweary if that's more your thing.</p><p>Read stories about tech going wrong; broken spaceships; alien housemates; the tribulations of dating outside one's species and the odd chicken. I mean really odd. There is black humour there's absurdism clever funny silly funny - all kinds of funny!</p>
