Waiting for the Light
£10.00
Waiting for the Light is a collection of short stories exploring the unexpected moral and ethical uncertainties in almost every human endeavour. They follow the tradition of the cautionary tale, covering themes of morality, horror and the limitless ambiguous ingenuity of humankind.
Waiting for the Light, by D. P. Dingham, ISBN 978-1-912710-66-9, £10 inc. p. and p. for UK addresses, £10 plus £5 p. and p. for worldwide addresses.
With a pin-sharp intelligence, a determination to stare where discomfort is guaranteed, and a writing style as lean as it gets, the writer nails down profound and weighty material tersely and imaginatively, with creative flourishes that surely give us warnings that humankind should take great care to police its worst instincts, while ‘waiting for the light’.
This is a distinctive and sometimes disturbing collection of short stories. The author makes excellent use of absence and ambiguity and knows just how to subvert the conventions of the form. At its elliptical best the writing blurs the lines that separates the realist from the uncanny.
– Charlie Hill, author of I Don’t Want to go to the Taj Mahal and This Albion
