- Summary:
-
A young boy falls in love with his golden haired brother. A jilted ghost with gallows humour plots the ultimate revenge from beyond the grave. Jackie Traval finds the body of a murdered weather girl, and for the first time is in love. And an ex-rentboy contemplates (im)mortality high above the seductive sea. In these twelve stories about death, Kirsty Machon writes of the darkness and sunlight, of gender and the flesh. The resonances of earthly and deathly desire are explored through the eyes of the victims, of those left behind...and a phantom victor from the other side.
