Kingfisher & Other Stories

5/5 ( ratings)

What happens to us when we die? That's the question first-time author Jake Martin asks and answers in Kingfisher, the first of five stories presented in this debut collection of short fiction. In the opening story, two young brothers spend a sweltering Georgia summer struggling to hold their small family together while dealing with an alcoholic grandmother and the death of their grandfather.

In the stories that follow, a desperate man refuses to commit murder without first testing his weapon and his method; an angry husband finds himself on the wrong end of the murder plot he worked so hard to construct; a deluded mother tries her best to cook a decent meal for her family; and a new widow, struggling to get a good night's sleep, takes matters into her own hands.

Kingfisher & Other Stories is a fresh, moving mix of tragedy and humor that boldly explores the complexities of life, death, murder and family.

About the Author: Jake Martin lives on the coast of Georgia, where he works as an educator. Kingfisher & Other Stories is his first published work.

Language: English

Pages: 108
