Book Description by Author:

Katherine Black uses emotions and characters to manipulate your senses until they ache.

This is a collection of fictional stories born of dark things living in the author’s head. It’s about the power of the human condition—and the weakness. A collection of intense stories written with passion and insight. Some are so tragic they can break a heart. Every piece in the book is tinged with human emotion—kindness, colour, darkness, or autumn tones.

While some women are dipping in the supermarket freezers for frozen peas, Katherine wonders how a body would fit. Would you have to break their arms and legs to get them in? What do frozen eyes look like? She has a head full of psychopaths. Sometimes they need to be let out. This book is the result of their freedom.

You will find thought-provoking, bleak, kind, harsh, gentle—and dark— stories that will make you uncomfortable.

If it wasn’t so shocking, it would be a...Travesty.
