The second anthology from author James Uscroft. A collection of ten stories through which he hopes to make us look beyond the 'Appealing' and awaken our humanity by exploring the poetry and artistic soul of tragedy, sacrifice, suffering, pain and death. "Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thoughts. Our deepest laughter with some pain is fraught." Percy Shelley. TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains graphic depictions of self-harm, murder and suicide. It also features frank explorations of drug addiction, rape and other psychological and physical traumas, as well as other behaviours and events which some readers may find distressing.
