Welcome to Litsy!

Brilliant short stories. A collection of diverse characters, these are inclusive in authentic, uncontrived way. Visceral writing, not a word wasted and they convey much in just a few lines. The guest stories are unnerving with an element of supernatural & left me wondering what happened at times. The last story was by turns gritty & moving. Always interesting, with a strong sense of place, this is a new gothic & exciting author to watch.

The stories in this collection are chilling at times, erotic at times, and there‘s a lot of “young Aussie abroad” content (young restless people being angsty in various parts of Europe). The stories are all well written, but otherwise not much particularly sets them apart. They feel familiar, rather than brave or piercing.
