About this ebook

A boy watches his mother hooked and reeled ashore by a fisherman.

A couple give up their seats on a bus for lovers soon to be parted.

A husband enters a world imagined by his wife and pretends to be the man she loves.

The Man in the Shed is a haunting collection of stories about family, love and longing. These extraordinary tales take conventional life and tilt it sideways, delivering a memorable blend of the real and the surreal.
