The Albadine and Other Stories. Click the image for a full preview on Issuu.
A boy with a doomed crush on his computer science teacher… A dying father haunted by strange memories of a beetle… A reclusive writer discovers how to impress a vampire… Survivors of a zombie apocalypse find safety in a seaside town… And a bizarre cult that hides beneath the floorboards of suburban homes…In this collection of fifteen short stories Duncan Barford blurs the boundaries of literary and genre fiction to produce some unique and disturbing visions.
I’ve self-published a collection of short stories. Most of these date back to a time shortly before I started to seriously involve myself in magick and spirituality but, in retrospect, it’s possible to see some interesting themes buried in there already. The majority have been published before in small magazines but some are appearing for the first time – and I’m very relieved to have got them into print and out of my head at last!
The book is available for purchase in print from Lulu for £4.50 (+ postage), or you can get a PDF download for £2.50. Alternatively, if you’ve got strong eyesight, you can read it in full on Issuu for free.
