Drug Use Cuts a Wide Swath Among Author's FriendsShort Stories to Die For"Stink" in Australian slang means a "fight" or something or someone that is not welcome. The Chronicles of a Stink Chicken: Episodes Second Edition features eight short stories and poetry describing the madness and wildness of thoughts and actions resultant from use of illicit drugs. It challenges unsuspecting readers with insets of respected philosophic pretext that asks real questions regarding health authority involvement with ranges of customers in the community, as social changes recreate the society they are created from. It is disarmingly presented within the same context of wild humours and contains spun encounters with insanity.The stories are about some of the author's school friends who are mainly deceased due to substance abuse. The book also includes health and legal issues, financial truths, and the social negativities that come with using drugs. Humour is used to show how easily a user's mind may be led into absurd beliefs.Author Kevin Munro says his short stories cover a wide period of his life that are re-weaved and spun. "Therefore, the Stink Chicken is probably myself, however in a somewhat creative and remodeled world. You would be surprised how many elements and events in these absurd stories verging upon the surreal are actually true."Kevin Munro has seen too many friends from his past die from drug abuse. He has a master's degree from the University of Western Sydney and 20 years' teaching experience. A retired teacher, he hopes this book will make a difference in young people's lives. His book is set predominantly on the Australian State of New South Wales Eastern Seaboard or within three hours drive inland.Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/KevinMunro
