70 writers revel in the joys and the pitfalls of summer, heat and sticky sweat ...
Eric was an ordinary man. He wanted to have an ordinary life. But extraordinary events transformed his quiet life... into an afterlife. After moving to the village of Bury St. Morts in the Norfolk countryside, Eric has to come to terms with the fact that he is terminally deceased. Why are the people of Bury St. Morts becoming zombified one by one? Does the problem lie deep in the heart of the English countryside? How will Eric deal with the authorities in his quest to get answers about the biologically challenged? Joseph Robert, writer and poet, says: Is this Swift for the 21st century? Joseph Robert doesn't know but he knows you'll laugh so hard your dick'll fall off. Dangerously close to libel, deeply offensive - all this and more. Melissa Jean, editor and publisher, says: Zombie Reflux is a satirical take on contemporary society. Who else would be brave enough to publish a farce of this calibre other than Meandi Books?
After an attempted horse theft goes tragically wrong, sixteen-year-old Caleb Bentley is on the run with his mean-spirited older brother across the American Southwest at the turn of the twentieth century. Caleb’s moral compass and inner courage will be tested as they travel the harsh terrain and encounter those who have carved out a life there, for good or ill. Wealthy and bookish Randall Dawson, out of place in this rugged and violent country, is begrudgingly chasing after the Bentley brothers. With little sense of how to survive, much less how to take his revenge, Randall meets Charlotte, a woman experienced in the deadly ways of life in the West. Together they navigate the murky values of vigilante justice. Powerful and atmospheric, lyrical and fast-paced, All Things Left Wild is a coming-of-age for one man, a midlife odyssey for the other, and an illustration of the violence and corruption prevalent in our fast-expanding country. It artfully sketches the magnificence of the American West as mirrored in the human soul.

enlightened, insightful non-fiction from life, from Dusty-Anne Rhodes "Witty but kind, wild but striving for discipline and achievement, her world is extremely modern and sometimes unsettling." Laurie Taylor, author of 'Said the Fly', from her Foreword "Different voices! Voices from the street, the bars, the travels, the landscape creating a mosaic of life where conflicts are the driving force and composition creates the poetry." Frans Winther, composer of Odin Teatret, Denmark, director of Dusty's one-woman show, Almost Providence. Dusty-Anne Rhodes has the gift of making the 'ordinary' extraordinary. Her vignettes explode and when they are done, our familiar furniture is not in the same place. For that matter, neither are we. Tim Page, Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, 1997
"Wild offers exceptional fiction and reportage, with a coast-dweller's sharp eye for maritime detail, and a humane regard for both the victims and the survivors of shipwrecks, both literal and metaphorical. From 'Prospects', a marvellous, moving reconstruction of the murderous maiden voyage of the Tayleur, to 'Luck is in the Leftovers', a gripping saga of living on the edge of the land, where life and death ebb and flow like the tides. Gill Hoffs' writing, fiction and non, swells with the power of life, sometimes life at the expense of other lives, but always animated and alive. This is visceral and vital prose, smooth as a sea-worn pebble yet sharp as sharks' teeth." - Ronnie Scott, author of Death by Design and editor of 'Tommy's War', 'Tommy's Peace' and 'The Real 'Dads' Army''
