Centipede

From the pen of award-winning writer, Martin Boyce, comes this collection of short stories. Set against the backdrop of the sunny island of Barbados in the Caribbean, each story features a protagonist who struggles against the restraints of anachronistic colonial conventions still present on the island.

Sometimes dark and brooding, the stories plunge unabashedly into the underground world of the LGBTQ+ community, and plough up unconscious realms of repressed traumas which interrupt the protagonists’ attempts to tolerate the limitations and hypocrisies of the ultra-conservative society.

[Includes the short story The Fear, published in My Sister’s Voice, also by the author]
