Synopsis
Martyn Bedford’s short stories ask a difficult the question: how do we re-define ourselves in the age of ‘post-truth’ reasoning, identity politics and social media echo-chambers. What constitutes personal identity, and what can we call ‘home’, when the places we come from are either no-longer accessible, or not what they claim to be. Informed by Bedford’s early career as a thriller writer, these stories read as much like mysteries, waiting to reveal themselves, as literary short stories.

"Haunting and intimate portraits of vividly different lives that get under your skin and stay there." —Jeremy Dyson, English author, musician, and screenwriter, who, along with Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, is one of the League of Gentlemen.
