Show Off edited by Joe Bunting


Joe Bunting has served up a tasty sampler plate in his new volume Show Off.

With short stories by ten different writers there is a flavour to please anyone.

These are not fluffy, feel good tales, they are raw and real. Each voice has a different way of dealing with emotions brought to the surface by things like death, or dementia or loss of faith.

As a writer of fiction and poetry I read the work of others not only for content but for the play of words one against the other. A compilation like this tickles my tongue.

If I have any complaint at all it is that I wanted more.
