'''Dip Flash''' is a collection of short stories by [[Jonathan Pinnock]]. It is his second collection and was published by [http://www.culturedllama.co.uk Cultured Llama] in April 2018.

==Blurb==
In ''Dip Flash'' we are taken to worlds where houses disappear, a wife runs off with a porpoise, and on to Heaven, where only French is spoken. From a bull in a china shop to a scheme for releasing the equity in grannies, these stories are dark and raw, grotesque and fantastic. They are also laugh-out-loud funny.

==Critical Reception==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanne_Harris Joanne Harris] said that it was

{{quote|really quite a remarkable collection – compact, witty, incisive and surreal. Loved it!}}

and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Gaffney David Gaffney] said

{{quote|Endlessly inventive and astonishingly original these sharply executed slivers of wit and fun are well-crafted yet have at the same time a rawness that makes you feel that they could have sprung out from Pinnock’s mind in one single unedited bound.}}

However, despite these kind remarks, ''Dip Flash'' failed to make much impression on the book-buying public.

==Relevance to the Mathematical Mysteries==
Dip Flash contains the story ''Financial Engineering'', which explores the potential for making money out of the sale of grandmothers, in much the same way that [[Rufus Fairbanks]] describes to [[Tom Winscombe|Tom]] in ''[[The Truth About Archie and Pye]]''.

==Trivia==
The phrase 'Dot Dash / Dip Flash' appears in the song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTGNnSgfp5Q 'Dot Dash' by Wire].
