Visitors, The

The Visitors showcases an array of talented new and established voices in short fiction and poetry. Tricia Durdey's haunting, evocative and strange title story gets to the core of what it means to be at home; Muhamed Fajkovic's 'Vivisection' dissects the layers we hid behind and how they peel away in crisis with a wry humour and flair for twists; Cassandra Passarelli's 'Cadejo' blends Guatemalan folklore and magical realism with a coming of age story while Fiona Thackeray's 'Northern Species' explores issues of poverty and ecology in Brazil and Huw Lawrence puts a surreal and sensual twist on the breakdown of a relationship in 'Someone Dancing'. With more excellent stories and great poetry from rising voices, including Anne Caldwell and Sally Douglas, joint winners of the Cinnamon Press Collection Award, The Visitors is a great book to dip into or read cover to cover. -- Publisher: Cinnamon Press
