Jo Randerson: The Spit Children

VUP

$19.95

The stories and poems here are chilling, haunting, as real yet as unsettling as the thoughts that fly around inside our minds.

Little instances of personal pain - ordinary, extraordinary - are brought to vivid life.

Like the woman whose hair is pulled up tight so it's as if every single hair is screaming at her all through the day, Randerson's little prose passages are so laced up they can take your breath away.

Randerson is also a playwright and even on the page her storytelling voice borrows the cadences of the spoken word.

You'll either love her or she'll drive you crazy. Whichever way, she's seriously talented.
