Okechukwu Nzelu - Here Again Now
From award-winning author Okechukwu
Nzelu comes a spellbinding literary novel that asks, how do you move forward
when the past keeps pulling you back?
But after a magical night, when Achike and Ekene
come within a hair's breadth of admitting their feelings for each other, a
devastating event rips all three men apart. In the aftermath, it is Ekene and
Chibuike who must try to rebuild. And although they have never truly understood
each other, grief may bring them both the peace and happiness they've been
searching for...
Jon Ransom - The Whale Tattoo
When a giant sperm whale washes up
on the local beach and tells Joe Gunner that death will follow him wherever he
goes. Joe knows that the place he needs to go is back home. Having stormed out
two years ago, it won’t be easy, nor will returning to the river alongside the
house where words ripple beneath the muddy black water washing up all sorts of
memories and disturbing prophesies. Ransom’s fractured, distinctive prose
highlights the beauty and brutality of his story, his extraordinarily vivid sense
of place saturates the reader with the wet of the river, and the salty tang of
the heaving sea.
