Talking to Strangers
I took part in this anthology of short stories written by Fehed Said. Talking to Strangers will be available to buy at the London Expo!
A girl trapped in a box, a boy chained to a rock and a friendshipbetween a child and a flower. These are just a few of the themes thatstoryteller Fehed Said explores in this collection. Joining Fehed Said,the acclaimed writer behind SLG's Clarence Principle, and Sonia Leong,the award winning artist behind SMH's Romeo & Juliet is a sterlinglineup of the UK's best new talent. Featuring artwork from Nana Li,Wing Yun Man, Chloe Citrine and Faye Yong.
"It was such a variedmix of stories" says Said. "When I was trying to come up with the titlefor the book, I wanted to find a connection between them all.Evidently, the critical moments in each piece came up as theprotagonist's talked with strangers."
Nana Li was the artist for'Box', and sums up that story as: "It's a short and dark story, but Ithink the ending will leave a tingling sensation in the spine." Thesame could certainly be said about the reading experience of thistitle. From the morbid fairy-tale style 'Malignant' and the sweetnessof 'Flowers'; this anthology showcases a variety in storytelling andartistic talent.
Due for release on 24th October 2009 at the London MCM Expo and available to buy online from the Sweatdrop Studios website -
