Inhaltsangabe:

A simple act of gallantry in the Malaysian jungle spawns a lifelong feud in the Home Counties... 

A fading actor with a terminal illness devises a meticulous plan to leave the stage in style...

A pregnant composer contemplates motherhood at the end of civilisation... 

 

Spanning centuries and continents, the stories in this collection amount to a tour de force of literary worldbuilding. From deeply insecure time travellers to medieval mystics and futuristic body modification cults, Norminton’s characters find themselves torn between conflicting impulses – temptation and fortitude, hubris and shame, longing and regret. By turns sad, strange and darkly comic, The Ghost Who Bled reveals a master storyteller of incredible range.
