Deadly Confederacies: & Other Short Stories

In this collection of short stories, Martin Malone explores the hidden world behind the front door of family life and the secret world behind the public face. From a young boy adjusting to a new world among relatives in 1970s Wales, to a man and his partner adjusting to a darker Ireland filled with unemployment, health scares, and only dreams of a better future. Malone brings the reader deep inside the minds and lives of his characters. In intimate prose and illuminating detail, Malone displays his skills as a master of setting and description. Driven by Malone's ability to empathize and understand even the most extreme of minds, the stories bring twists, humor, and sadness in vivid and gripping prose.
