Sinopsis

Infused with gentle optimism, these fifteen uncompromising stories explore themes of sacrifice and hope in domestic relationships.
 
Mum and Nan struggle to contrive a sense of normal family life in the emotionally charged environment of a women's shelter. A visual artist faces the return of her wayward daughter, who brings home her new boyfriend, the lumbering behemoth, Zol. A bereaved woman lies restless and alone in bed, her thoughts troubled by the cries of the dog locked in next door's laundry.
 
At once dark, poignant and witty, All Because of You depicts intimately and honestly the travails and heroic responses of women and men confronting the pith of their lives.

    Walter Lionel George was born to British parents on the 20th March 1882 in Paris, France. 
    It was not until he was a young man of 20 that he learned English.  In 1905 he moved to London to work in an office but soon found himself working as a journalist, and as a foreign correspondent, for various London newspapers. 
    By 1911, with the publication of his first novel ‘A Bed of Roses’, which portrayed the fall of a penniless young woman into prostitution, his efforts were rewarded, and he turned to literature as a full-time career. 
    His writings now sold well.  He added short stories to his offerings as well as literary essays and several tracts that discussed left-wing themes.  Some critics thought his subject matter to be difficult and poorly chosen. His political views gained him little credit amongst his peers although such luminaries as George Orwell praised both subject matter and style. 
    His personal life was also turbulent.  His three marriages left him widowed twice.  In 1908 he married Helen Porter who died in 1914.  Helen Agnes Moorhead followed in 1916 but died only 4 years later.  His last marriage was to Kathleen Geipel in 1921. 
    W. L George died on 30th January 1926.  He was 43.

This enthralling anthology stands as a testament to Fitzgerald's mastery in painting the roaring twenties' glamour and its underlying disillusionment.

    Adeline Virginia Woolf was born on the 25th January 1882 in South Kensington in London. 
    Although lauded as a founder of modernist writing with such classics as ‘Orlando’, ‘Mrs Dalloway’ and ‘To the Lighthouse’ and, of course, many classic short stories, her background is filled with elements of tragedy that she somehow overcame to become such a revered writer.   Her mother died when she was 13, her half-sister Stella two years later and with it her first of several nervous breakdowns.  Appallingly it was later found that three of her half-brothers had sexually abused her so darkness must have seemed ever present.   
    She began writing professionally at age 20 but her father’s death two years later brought a complete mental collapse and she was briefly institutionalised.  Somehow she found within herself a literary career and with it great innovations in writing; she was a pioneer of “stream of consciousness”.    
    Her tight circle of friends were the founders of the Bloomsbury Group, a movement whose legacy still influences across the arts and society in many way to this day.   
    Whilst the dark periods continued to interrupt her emotional state her rate of work never ceased.  Until, on 28th March 1941, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled up its pockets with stones, and walked into the River Ouse, in Lewes, East Sussex and drowned herself.  Her body was not recovered until the 18th April.  She was 59. 
    She left behind a note which read in part “Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again.  I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times.  And I shan't recover this time.  I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate.  So I am doing what seems the best thing to do”.

Man Walking, the latest thrilling collection by Eli Taff Jr., plunges you deep into the dark, chilling universe of the Department of Extra-Dimensional Defense (D.E.D.D.). This elite black ops unit stands as humanity's last line of defense against nightmarish creatures and interdimensional horrors that slip through the cracks of reality. 
    From fog-shrouded fishing villages where massive, tentacled monstrosities rise from the depths, to remote Arctic outposts where ancient entities whisper through the ice, D.E.D.D. Man Walking delivers ten tightly-woven flash fiction stories that capture the intense, action-packed missions of Reaper Squad. Each story is a pulse-pounding, 500-word plunge into the unknown, where the strange and supernatural blend seamlessly with brutal, military realism. 
    For fans of military sci-fi horror and dark, supernatural thrillers, this collection is a must-read.  
    It's the Eli Taff Jr. masterfully combines the tactical precision of black ops action with the gut-wrenching terror of cosmic horror, creating an atmosphere that is both thrilling and unsettling. D.E.D.D. Man Walking captures the claustrophobic tension of works like The X-Files, Stranger Things, and The Thing, while also appealing to fans of Warhammer 40K and H.P. Lovecraft's mythos. 
    Prepare yourself for a journey into the shadows, where every flash of light reveals a new nightmare, and the line between reality and the unexplainable blurs. Welcome to D.E.D.D. Man Walking. Once you step into this world, there's no going back.
