WAR TALES

About the Book

WAR TALES is a collection of reality as much as it is a collection of short fiction. It tells of love – sometimes unrequited love – and stubborn hope, of vengeance and madness. It tells of people and places devoid of distinction between dream and reality. It however predominantly tells of war, as Silas puts it: There are those who kill in the believe that it is a direct instruction from God and a prerequisite for eternal life, there are also those afflicted by bitterness, anger, frustration and a host of negative emotions which having been suppressed unsuccessfully, erupt and destroy much good. In WAR TALES & Other Short Stories, anything is possible. You will meet David King on his messianic quest, Abu and the baffling love he has for his boss, Aunt Dorcas who finds herself a husband against all odds and several other remarkable characters.
