Love, such an emotive word so often swathed
in sweetness and flowers when in reality the truth is so far from that.
Love can be cruel, passionate, lustful,
devious, hurtful and many other emotions sometimes in singularity but more
often in a mixed up mess so thoroughly blended together it is hard to know
which is the principle motive for love.
No Love Lost is a collection of short
stories, flash fiction and poetry which strips love of all it's pretence and
shows it in all it's awful glory. There is not one piece here that does not
belong, each one brings a new perspective to the collection.
I will admit that this subject is not my
type of fiction but I cannot decry the writing, all is superb and enjoyable,
each author wringing the last drop out of the subject.
Congratulations to Pankhearst and editor
Kate Garrett for this collection of superb stories and poetry but not
forgetting the writers who have shown a diversity of content that you will not
find anywhere else.
You may feel that love is not your
"thing" but take time to browse and read, you will be surprised at
the depth and variety that make this collection so enjoyable.
