Join Wombach Press for the launch of A.M. Stirling’s short story collection, Thirteen.
Thirteen: Unlucky for some.
Sometimes people find themselves trapped, disillusioned, uncertain.
A wealthy woman’s life is thrown off balance when she meets an enigmatic artist; a teenage boy is forced to look elsewhere for love after his mother commits suicide; a salesman’s career is on the slide as his father descends into dementia; a woman on an internet date finds that love isn’t what she imagines it to be.
Thirteen stories haunted by unease.
‘Stirling's collection…is a pure delight…Each story begins exactly as a story should, elegantly putting us in the middle of an intriguing situation we're keen to find out more about… Full of twists, provocative ambiguities, poignant poetics, and startling humour, Thirteen lets us know at every turn we're in the hands of a master storyteller.’
John Schoneboom, author of The Day Aunt Gina Came to Town
