The
Spare Child & other rather nasty stories . . . by Barbara Godfrey With their shocking twists, the nine stories in this expanded edition are reminiscent of TV’s Tales of the Unexpected. In the grisly tale of The Mincer, and in other stories, events don’t turn out as planned. The enterprising Spare Child dares to defy the cruel laws of a future age of baby cloning. In Take Fright Alison finds herself being chased breathlessly through Surrey woodland after taking her dog for a walk at a fairground. And in The Time of Her Life, bored housewife Rita dreams of a happy new life, as does little Susie in A Sting in the Tale. But their dreams inexorably become nightmares . . . • Preview the book online FREE • Norwegian, French and German book translations in progress . . .

The
Blood, the Sand & the Sun by Pete Gioconda 16 surreal and visionary poems that combine acerbic wit with wonder, and an anger at the modern economically-controlled perspective. A determination to try to see things the way you really see them. A celebration of aloneness, in hope of togetherness. Verbally shamanistic, with moments of unsettling beauty. Includes, as a poem, Connected to Remote Sunrise (used as lyric for a song not due for release until at least 2025). • Preview the book online FREE
