Fight the Sky: A Collection of Short Stories by Sinéad Kent
Paperback, published 15th May 2010
Fight the Sky is a collection of short stories by Wolverhampton-based author, Sinéad Kent. Some are surreal in nature, others tragic, and the rest are downright ridiculous!
From the back cover:
“A painter with no hope; a woman with no memory; a detective with no future; a carrot without a clue. These characters, amongst others, are found in Fight the Sky, a collection of short stories.
Within these pages lie worlds ranging from the curious to the ridiculous, from the impossible to the obscene. Join a cast of unlikely ladies, gentlemen and vegetables as they teach you how not to cross the road, tell you all about their bad day at work, encourage you to fly and, most importantly of all, remind you to always keep your fingers to yourself! Join the freakshow’s content caretaker, the distressed young constable, the wily old graverobber and various others are you journey through this collection of the weird and wonderful!”
