The Desolation Angel: Short Stories

Description

"When I first met the Desolation Angel he was sprawled insolently across the top of my refrigerator. He wore a black three-button single-vent suit, and smoked a long cigar, the ashes of which he tapped into his left jacket pocket. He didn't acknowledge me until I was almost on him. Raising two red eyes in my direction, he said, "Don't sweat it. I'm here to help." Thirteen extraordinary stories by the author of the NZ Post-shortlisted novel Their Faces Were Shining
