    About this ebook

    A female soldier is haunted by the memory of the refugee she couldn't help. An ex-con's hopes of a normal life are threatened by the secret hidden in the walled-in room. A barmaid serves Irish whiskey to a customer who might just be God.

    Five stories from Heather Richardson, including 'The Walled-In Room', winner of the Brian Moore Short Story Award, and shortlisted for the British Fantasy Society Best Short Story Award.

    My first novel, 'Magdeburg' was published in hardback and paperback late last year by Lagan Press. I've just released a mini-collection of some of my previously published short stories as an ebook - hence my presence here!

      The night, as most nights, was like a dream. At ten, once I’d fed the dog the last scraps off the stove. Once I’d cursed the cat for scratching up my mama’s antique furniture, then welcomed him back into my arms. Once I’d slicked my hair into a ponyt

      How not TO RELAX
