Bedbug's Writing: A Collection of Short Stories + Poetry, Volume One

by Tony Lovell

With a mix of heart, humor, and a little darkness, Tony Lovell explores the perseverance of love in the face of unfortunate circumstances, death and the ghosts that won’t leave us alone, literal and metaphorical rebellion against that which is perceived as normalcy, and more in this collection of short stories and poetry. Many of the pieces may have originally been written for writing challenges on websites such as Grammar Ghoul Press, while others have either never previously been shared or were shared in limited capacity, yet each story stands alone as a work of love and passion and displays the “illusion of capability” that Tony possesses. There’s a little something for everyone in Bedbug’s Writing!

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this entire book.I liked the twisted ideas that came from the authors mind.The stories were as he stated in the catagories ,esp. The Darker Stuff.I really liked Revelation and The Bridegroom's Hand too.I don't know what that says about me but I think maybe there is hope yet.I can't wait for Volume Two Bad Words to come out.

Let me be up front, Tony is a friend of mine so I am sure that there is some bias here. He is very creative and open to strange things. His writing reminds me of Lovecraft in its suspense and darkness. This book keeps your on your toes and leaves you wanting more from each story. Give it a read!

[Susan Shuman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This gem of book has it all, something for everyone. Tony's imagination and sense of timing is spot-on. His plot twists are surprising yet believable and occur at precisely the right time. Tony crafts his poetry from the heart, and his work tends to stay with you. I highly recommend Tony, and Bedbug's Writing.
