The Postmodern Malady - A Collection of Short Stories (Paperback)

April, 1814. As news of Lord Byron's death sweeps London, two young prostitutes are found murdered. The murderer, and his shocking motive, becomes a secret passed down from father to son, one which remains undisclosed for nearly 200 years. It is the truth of Dr. Peter Hudson, who witnessed modernity evaporate into uncertainty, a man who embodies the contemporary human condition like no other. The novella, The Postmodern Malady of Dr. Peter Hudson, is the title story in this collection of eight short stories that unite around themes of time, memory and identity. Each is an experiment in convention, characterisation, and genre that use the tropes of crime, murder, and the paranormal to explore the contradiction between abstract understanding, and lived reality. These are stories about the reconciliation of these ideas in the midst of the human obsession with immortality and frailty.
