More Tales: Collected Prose Fiction volume four

By John Hilton

At last the fourth volume of John Hilton's shorter fiction has arrived. Six years in the making it marks summation of the various strands that have made up his prose fiction to date. As with the previous three volumes there is a wide range of mood and style within, encompassing pathos, satire, fourth wall breaches and an emotional range that spreads from melancholy to elation, taking in anger and sinister on the way, with a generous helping the absurd and the outright ridiculous. There are the tragedies of A Chance to Be and To Be Ordinary, the manic absurdity of Dreaming is Free and a trio of short, poisonous character sketches. It is his boldest and most emotionally complex collection of short stories to date. John Hilton is a Bath based poet and author. As well as several volumes of poetry, he has published two novels, four volumes of short stories and two volumes of philosophical writings. He recently completed his first play.
