Flesh and WoodFlesh and Wood by Roger Frederick

Jemma is in IT sales, living only for her next deal. Rushing to meet a new client in her boss’s 5 Series she skids off a bridge and into a tree. She’s lucky to be alive the neurologists tell her. Yea, she thinks, aside from the dent in my forehead, the facial scars, the terrifying hallucinations, the PSD and the partial paralysis...really lucky. With nowhere else to go, she moves to a seaside chalet in the remote village of Nant Llwyfen to recuperate. Walking on the beach one morning she finds a lifelike wooden hand and decides to discover where it came from. More wooden body parts start to appear. Who is leaving them for her? A murderous stalker? One of her psychotic exes? An eccentric villager? Or were they conjured up by some malevolent spirit in the woods that border the cove? Prepare to be sucked into the latest whirlpool of a novel by Roger Frederick - a brain-injured trip into Welsh magic realism featuring his strangely compelling mix of the suburban and the surreal. Take a deep breath and submerge...

 

Out of the PictureOut of the Picture by Dale Tyler

SO, YOU’VE LOST YOUR JOB, YOUR BOYFRIEND HAS KICKED YOU OUT AND HIS EX IS LYING DEAD ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR. YOU’RE ON THE RUN IN ROME, YOU’VE IMPLICATED ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND SOMEONE’S JUST TEXTED YOU A PHOTO OF HIS PENIS. CAN THINGS GET ANY WORSE?
For Joey Ellis, it seems the answer is always ‘yes’. Going from servile wreck to international fugitive in a 24 hour period, all she wants is a little peace at friend Simon’s Rome apartment to get her head straight.
But within days of arriving, a pimp is battering the door down demanding £3,000, the entire nation believes straight-laced Simon to be the leader of one of Europe’s most notorious hooligan gangs, and the most amorous paparazzi journalist in Italy is playing Hungry Like The Wolf on a flute outside the
window. Can Joey and wayward Rocco find a way out, or is their only hope the dreaded life in Marbella with all the other ex-pat criminals…?
