Ten Years Gone

Horrific, insightful, witty, subversive, hopeful. The short story can be any of these things, and in this contemporary collection from Anthony Morgan-Clark you will discover just that. The title story has us look back at a man's life a decade after he has come back from the dead. What has he learned? And how will he use his new form to affect the living?In 'Dead Tree Cottage' we experience three men searching for their childhood friend, who disappeared after a tragic incident - but no-one stops to wonder if he's missing or simply hiding.'Two Tales of a City' offers a glimpse into the near future, and will leave you questioning just where our values lie.'Dead Letter Office' and 'Appraisal' present a wry look at life in a soulless corporation through the eyes of Rudy, forever one step away from his promotion to something better.'A Day in The Life' and 'Jump' explore two very different perspectives on life in Britain's residential childcare system.'Smoker' asks, what is the value in a life wasted?'Taith Taf' is a thought-provoking observation of the post-industrial Welsh Valleys.
