The Diggings Are Silent - Wendy Evans - Bog

This lively collection of short stories covers a diverse range of categories, including historical fiction as in 'The Diggings Are Silent', contemporary humour as in 'Tell It To The Marines', and gothic fantasy as in 'The Boy'. All stories are highly original and succeed in amusing or shocking the reader. There is more than a hint of larrikinism permeating the pages especially in the historical tales. The contemporary stories highlight modern foibles while the fantasy stories are confidently written with a strong touch of black humour.
