Wilful Misunderstandings

A unique concept frames Richard Foremans Wilful Misunderstandings a collection of short stories from Lepus Books. In each of these thirty-four tales the author takes a word phrase or saying twisting it into a new meaning and by extension a new reality. The stories that emerge extend across a diverse stylistic range through sci-fi adventure crime romance horror folk tale and magic realism. The many worlds of Wilful Misunderstandings can be rampantly surrealistic at times not so very different from our own at others. A parapet becomes a beast assigned as a familiar to would-be mystics. If you go out and stretch your legs you come home taller. Accolade is a drink that gives you a pat on the back. But in each tale readers will meet engaging characters in intriguing situations - some humorous some perilous some with deep emotional resonance.
