  A tender tale of guilt, trust, and a father's yearning to atone. 
   
   
   
  A harmless-looking letter drops onto the doormat in Stephen Rose's Somerset home like an unexploded bomb. It is a summons to an inquiry in Belfast, asking him to give testimony about his participation in a disastrous event during the Troubles—one he has long worked to forget. 
   
   
   
  An ailing ex-soldier and recovering alcoholic, Stephen has just begun to build a fragile bond with Maggie, the adult daughter he barely knows. For two years, he has worked hard to earn her trust, but the tragedy of what occurred back in the summer of 1982 has the power to destroy their new relationship. To buy time, he decides to write her an account of his life. Part explanation, part confession, it is also a love letter to Maggie. 
   
   
   
  When the moment comes that he must face what happened in Belfast that summer, the consequences are devastating—but ultimately liberating. Giving voice to those little heard in the literature of the Irish Troubles, The Slowworm's Song is an unforgettable story about a man who learns that the only way back from the underworld is up.

  “Little Pests” is a suspense horror story that pits a woman and her young daughter against a suddenly and violently unhinged pest control technician, who has sinister plans for the woman and the girl whose home he is working in. Although he enters their house with no ill intentions, it seems as though the chemicals he works with are affecting his mental state and thought processes. “Little Pests” includes: 
  • An introduction and complete portrayal of both character sets (the mother and daughter as well as the exterminator), 
  • A woman who will find out that there are worse things in the world than cockroach infestations, 
  • A man, understandably concerned about losing his job, coming closer and closer to the brink of madness, 
  • A terrifying conflict that ensues between Exterminator and the family. 
  The story starts with horror almost right from the beginning; although with it coming from a very different source than it does later. There isn’t a single moment that isn’t at least slightly tinged with dread, and it’s hard to say who feels it more, the exterminator or the family he terrorizes. Either way, it proves to be a grueling experience for all involved, and the reader gets to watch it all unfold. 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
