About this listen
In the sleepy town of Aspil, Mayor Bert – ‘just Bert’ to his adoring folks – rules with a grin and a promise of riches. When he warns a meteor is hurtling toward their quaint square, the townsfolk don’t panic; they cheer. Bert’s solution? A world-first marvel: the largest trampoline ever built, designed to bounce the cosmic threat back to the stars. Enter Mr. Slick, a silver-tongued stranger from Baddelbury, peddling blueprints and insurance against celestial incursion, while Aspil pours its heart into the bizarre project. But one lone doubter questions if the sky’s really falling – or if something earthier is afoot.
Peter Seddon’s The World’s Largest Trampoline is a razor-sharp tale of human folly, where charisma meets catastrophe under a looming canopy of delusion. With biting wit and a cast of unforgettable characters – from the sweat-soaked Bert to the profiteering Thompsons – this darkly funny short story skewers the absurdities of blind faith and the cons that thrive on it. Will Aspil’s grand leap save them, or land them in ruin?
Grab your copy now and join Aspil’s wild bounce into the unknown and dive into this wickedly sharp small-town satire, where a trampoline becomes a comically flimsy shield against cosmic doom. Perfect for fans of George Saunders and Kurt Vonnegut, this tale blends Kafkaesque absurdity with biting political allegory, exposing the hollow promises of manufactured crises. With mischievous wit and folkloric charm, it’s a standout for readers who crave satirical fiction that’s equal parts hilarious and haunting – guaranteed to spark laughter, squirms, and spirited discussions.
