Description
Dark, heartbreaking, funny, twisted, bleak, and hopeful in unequal measure, this debut short story collection takes you to the curious extremities of human relationships. Eleven imaginative tales of astonishing variety unfold, ranging from the mysterious to macabre, and are described as a 'page-turning assault on the senses'. Hughes' beautifully crafted prose, hard-boiled dialogue, and gothic imagery merge to disorientate, disturb, and ultimately, engage readers. Fuelled by revenge, loss, death, and love, these stories are sometimes haunting, at other times bizarre, and always riveting. With a unique blend of lyrical prose and unsettling imagery, this collection is not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a thought-provoking and unsettling read, this is a great choice.
