Please forgive us Richard Hauptmann: a retro collection of short stories + other fantastical observations

Dusty Springfields voice rises from the grave. A Japanese swimming pool attendant waits patiently at the gates of heaven. And the green picnic blanket on the back seat of Carlos car just moved... Bang bang. Slash slash. Crunch crunch. A collection of retro short stories + fantastical observations from a true crime writer. Playful unpredictable and occasionally pretty violent. This book contains 16 sizzling short stories 7 even shorter poems + 3 surreal pieces of average shortness all tenuously linked by a running commentary touching on Ned Kellys murderous side chocolate shag pile carpet and the joys of pet goldfish. Wendy Lewiss writing is taut arresting and provocative. I couldnt stop turning the pages. - Timothy Daly multi-award winning playwright Confessional dark quirky; these pieces offer a little something for everyone. - Leigh Swinbourne author of Shadow in the Forest
