Trust Issues

A collection of stories by Ken Mooney, author of Godhead, The Hades Contract, The Little Book Of The End Of The World, Tackling The Issue and After The Tackle.

Horror is a powerful way of analysing human emotion: anger, fear, addiction, betrayal, resentment. Even arousal.
These are stories with common themes and issues, those of trust, hope, promises, and what ultimately happens when all those nice fluffy, positive things are broken.

Resident’s Bar, the broken truths of past infidelities that breaks a family apart;
88 Steps, a tale of addiction and the lies that go along with it;
The Shortest Night, embracing new members into your family, for better, for worse and ‘til death will you part;
Black + White: A Picture Of Gray: a short piece about abandonment, inspired by Oscar Wilde;
and 
Worship, a completely new work about betrayal and the anger it causes, addressing sex and sexuality alongside the fears and joys that go along with it. 

Although originally published separately, I have brought the stories together to share a common home, one of fear, one of pain, one of the deep and uncomfortable connections between trust and betrayal.
