Re "52FF"

"A veritable cocktail of real life incidents, metaphors and hidden meanings of an imaginative mind!" -AlternativeRead.com

"Best of all, I've found many of the stories so thought provoking that I've read them several times - which makes this volume worth every penny" -Lisa Vooght

"Some aspects of a particular piece may not occur to you until after the second, third or even fourth reading. I love this concept and I think Marc Nash has understood it perfectly...I loved the obvious fascination with words and images. I loved the many layers hidden within the brevity. And I loved the darkness and the satire. This anthology is a gift that keeps on giving". -TheBookBag

    4.0 out of 5 stars Concentration of words and ideas.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2013
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Here are 32 stories - each one as different as the next, though they all have the hallmark Nash word-wrangling and dark humour. There are coming of age stories, crimes, thrillers, fantasy, even a touch of romance. Though, as always with this writer, there is a sting in the tale when the love of the fair sex is involved! Some are straightforward narratives while others are written in experimental styles stretching the boundaries of form and language. Whatever the form and style employed, each is a big story squeezed into a concentrated pack.

    Marc Nash pushes the limits of language, not a word is wasted, forcing the reader to think about what they are reading, demanding a response to the words. Images conjured up are often surprising, sometimes disturbing, occasionally funny. Marc is adept at looking at situations from a different angle, making the mundane into something strange and exciting, or treating the extra-ordinary as an everyday occurrence. So, a neon cowboy can live and dream, or a jailbird can solicit a macabre love token.

    Marc Nash continues to challenge perceptions with this third collection of flash fiction.
