Shards

This collection is the first published work of a writer who isn't afraid to experiment with new styles as he finds his voice. If we can summarise its varied nature into a single theme, that would have to be the psychological struggles of average people who are pushed to the edge of their humanity. These stories navigate the line between the real and the surreal. Some merge the subject's material existence with the paranoias that trap their minds while others focus on the liberating nature of dreams. Across different genres, the subjects in these stories are often immersed in a society that either rejects them outright or tries to change them with devastating consequences. 'Shards' is a kaleidoscopic journey that reflects the mercurial nature of the human heart with all its ambition, pitfalls, passions and nightmares, and what's left when it shatters.
