The Cruellest Cut

By Perry Gamsby

The Cruellest Cut is the barbaric practise of female genital mutilation. In this epic short story, author Perry Gamsby makes his contribution to the growing international condemnation of this cruel assault on women and girls for the spurious excuse of religious adherence or some other cultural aberration. Released in support of the UN's International Day Against Female Genital Mutilation (6th February), all of the author's royalties from the sale of this book will be spent in the betterment and empowerment of women.

There are five other stories that explore relationships in varying ways from our growing dependence on social media to secrets kept hidden for our whole lives from those we are closest to.

The Cruellest Cut also entertains as well as engages with stories that take us back to our childhood, explore the exchange of emotion between sharers of intimacy and even take a very pragmatic look at one of history’s most told tales. Superb characterisations melded with humour, humanity and dialogue so real you will wish you had spoken it yourself.

Perry Gamsby is the author of the Street Lit Trilogy and numerous anthologies of short stories, practical self-help guides and literally hundreds, if not thousands of blogs and web site articles.

Reviews for The Cruellest Cut

[Benjamin Birch · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Poorly written with typos I thought this was going to be about female mutilation which it touched on. Mostly it is some white guy rambling on about how "stupid and selfish" immigrants are. Book reeks of white superiority. Gross.
