  Short Story Press Presents Dad’s...

  Dad's Down Under chronicles the tumultuous - and often humorous - funeral of an emotionally abusive husband told from the point of view of the man's 18-year-old son. Present are the distant relatives and immediate family, all of whom have different recollections of what kind of man he was. His immediate family views him as a monster, while his side of the family remembers him as a kind, loving, and generous man. 
  This book is a semi-autobiographical account from the young mind of someone who has witnessed many of the events in the short story. The perspective of an 18-year-old provides fresh and keen insight into the issue of domestic violence and how it impacts children in such harrowing circumstances. The short story structure allows for a swift - albeit emotionally satisfying - journey through the funny, and, at times, dour, narrative. The funeral setting allows for listeners to relate to similar experiences of their own. The narrative element of an uninvolved paternal figure is something many young listeners will be able to relate to. Chad's journey may also provide a source of comfort for youth unaware of how their similar situations will play out 
  This story is by a prospective writer. It will be his first foray into the world of publishing. 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

  The Autobiography of Matthew...

  Since the 1970s, Lawrence Block has been writing award-winning novels and short fiction featuring Matthew Scudder. Now, with both himself and his detective half a century older, the author found himself charged with writing a book about his protagonist. And he decided he wasn’t the right person for the job. Lawrence Block: “What was Matt’s family like? How did he spend his childhood? What steered him toward the NYPD, and how did he get all the way from the Police Academy to a detective’s gold shield? Who were the influences and what were the experiences that made him the man we’ve come to know? These were important questions. There were certainly stories to be told, but that didn’t mean I was the person to tell them. If Matt Scudder was to have a memoir, he ought to write it himself.” So Block passed on the assignment to his most enduring fictional character, and the result—The Autobiography of Matthew Scudder—is a remarkable document, at once a convincing bildungsroman and the indispensable capstone of an outstanding series. Since his 1976 debut in The Sins of the Fathers, Matthew Scudder has aged in real time, so, too, remarkably enough, has his creator. Lawrence Block turned 84 on June 24, 2022, while Mr. Scudder reached that same milestone on September 7. The Autobiography of Matthew Scudder demonstrates clearly—and irresistibly—that neither one of them has lost a step.
