Silhouettes (2025)
Across more than 20 stories and poems, Silhouettes captures human nature across a range of genres, spanning the surreal comedy and the ghost story, the psychological drama and the domestic saga. We meet wicked widows and conniving grandsons, irascible pensioners, plus one or two animals, with backdrops aplenty from a small literary agency to the luxurious shores of Biarritz.
In his first-ever collection, Dale Hurst takes you on a voyage of love and lobsters, greed and grief, robbery and snobbery.
This book will be available for purchase from Sunday 16 November.
The Berylford Scandals: Sin & Secrecy (2020)
The wars waged by Napoleon in Europe are nothing quite as bloody as the war between the Stirkwhistle siblings in Berylford. The fearsome Abel Stirkwhistle asserts his own order across town, opposed at every turn by his vindictive sister Rebecca. As schoolmistress, Rebecca rules tyrannical over her pupils, including the mischievous foursome The Four Scallywags, who plot to be rid of her once and for all. But what they stumble upon is far worse, and far more dangerous for all involved. Will Abel keep Berylford in his iron clutches, or will he lose all the power he has fought so hard to win?
Reunite with your favourite characters from Berylford 20 years after Lust & Liberty, plus loads of new faces. All of whom talk, and are talked about, in this scandalous little town.
