Short stories that run the gamut of the genre spectrum are mixed with touching poems of loss and grief, and a healthy dose of laugh-out-loud rage poems to ensure that you are kept entertained no matter your preference. Anthony Harrington has picked the best of his short stories and poems and introduces each entry with a story giving the background and inspiration behind his writings.
In reading Fallow by Tony Harrington, I discovered that even in book of short stories and poetry, a talented writer will share with you a small part of his life and experiences that can touch your soul. This volume contains heart wrenching poetry, drawn from the writer's loss, that resonates within my own life. It also contains stories that sometimes made me laugh and other times stirred deep emotions. Some stories are horror while others satire, but overall a tiny glimpse into one man's talent. I loved the preview for the upcoming novel Lamb of God and anxiously await its release in December 2014.
