Publisher's Synopsis
Robert Peate's seventh collection of short works (fiction and poetry) features work from July to November 2019
"It's a cultural counterpoint in prose." - Jan Williams "We Had to Destroy the Village to Save it" is about a man who discovers and joins a secret society working to save the World. "Sleep" shows the lengths to which parents can go when their son cannot sleep all night. "The Rainbow" depicts a world in which heterosexuals are the persecuted minority. "Killer Movie" was a dream I had and wrote down. "Training" a father teaches his children about mass murder. "Greta" is about a girl working to save the environment in a small town. I named the character after Ms. Thunberg. "The Creature" is a horror story about a supernaturally strong and smart evil animal stalking and killing human beings. "The Tour" a reporter tours a grossly misunderstood government facility dealing with "undesirables". "The Beast" is a metaphor. See if you can guess for what! "The Revolution" occurs when parents take action against their spoiled daughter. The poem "Opposite Day", and more.
