Juxtaposing fairies, antisocial behavior and colostomy bags may not always be the sign of a good read, but in this case, overcoming your natural abhorrence of these things is worthwhile.
Mark Millar writes a convoluted not-quite-love story in "The Good Fairies of New York" which mixes the magical with the absolutely dreary. Dinnie the creep meets Kerry the infirm due to the interference of rogue Scottish fairies Heather and Morag. On the run from the authorities in Scotland due to some unfortunate choices in the midst of a rock and roll rebellion, the fairies befriend Dinnie and Heather and try to aid them in their lives on the fringes of New York City.
Cringe-worthy in places, Good Fairies is at the very least an addictive read.
