Sticky Fingers: 12 Short Stories

Diverse, dark-humoured, and deliciously bite-sized, this compelling collection of 12 short stories by JT Lawrence include: 'Escape' -- a suicidal baby who knows he was born into the wrong life has to get creative and take measures to correct the mistake, much to his mother's horror. 'The Itch' -- a story about an intense, uncontrollable, unexplainable itch that lands the protagonist in a mental institution. 'Bridge Gate' -- In this poignant and charming short story, a daughter yearns to connect with her absent father through the letters they exchange. She's not put off by his pedantic corrections of her writing, despite the slow reveal that he is less than perfect himself. 'The Unsuspecting Gold-digger' -- a woman gradually poisons her husband so that she doesn't have to break his heart.
