Bloodalcohol: Ten Tales
Synopsis
The award-winning author of acclaimed horror collection The Devil Took Her is back with ten fresh tales. ● A South Island road trip turns murderous as a dangerous drifter smells a secret in her co-dependent partner. ● Millionaire Kiwi conservationists learn too late how little Mother Earth cares for mankind. ● A Far North teen confronts the terrifying truth about why Mum separated from Dad years ago. These stories take us through trials of life everyone can relate to: Struggling to bond with a stroppy stepchild, losing your son to a gang of ghoulish boys, doing desperate things to get famous, battling bullies, surviving school, sacrificing everything for art, surviving the big city, and getting good with God. Bringing his award-winning narrative skill to the genre of horror, Botur delivers ten New Zealand nightmares – his most powerful stories yet. About the author Michael Botur, born 1984 in Christchurch, New Zealand, is the author of eight acclaimed short story collections, four novels, ‘page and pub poetry’ collection Loudmouth and the children’s book 'My Animal Family.' He has won awards for short fiction in the US, Australia and New Zealand and was the first NZ winner of the Australasian Horror Writers Association Robert N Stephenson Short Story Competition.
