Defensive Wounds and Other Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781917173117)

Defensive wounds: the cuts and scratches we suffer trying to ward off harm, to fend off doom if only for a last moment...

Defensive Wounds & Other Stories brings together 17 haunting and haunted stories from author James Everington. In these tales you'll find monstrous insects, strange men in the woods, visions born of heatstroke and heartache, and a very strange love affair indeed.

And you'll find characters who, in their attempts to deny death and loss and despair, suffer the wounds of doing so, even as their efforts ultimately prove futile.
