Pinch

by Jack Hunter

Parading between the pages of Pinch are mythological figures straying into unknown waters; public relations putting a positive spin on extinctions; lovers looking backwards and forwards through time; ambitious ghosts possessing online algorithms; struggles with identity; privatised plastic nations; loss; love; life and the intricacies ticking relentlessly beneath the surface of existence.

Teeming with satirical insights and heartfelt intensity, none of these stories forget the profound sparks of humanity that ignite our shared experience.

About the author

Jack Hunter is the author of three novellas and two short story collections. Jack released his first book, Better Than Bad, in 2019. Yes, that 2019… Better Than Bad was described as ‘turning a satirical lens on controversial issues ranging from politics to influencers [it] illuminates the dark comedy lurking within every facet of modern society.’ So, perhaps the timing was somewhat fitting.

Jack’s writing style has been described as ‘a smorgasbord of possibility, an ode to the bizarre contradictions and disorienting tenderness of the human condition that strike when we least expect it.’

Jack’s highly anticipated second short story collection, Pinch, is set for release in late 2023.
