LOCAL author Steven Harris has released a collection of short fiction, And Other Stories.

Steven fronted popular West Country bands Dead Men Don’t and Isis in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

After ten years in Exeter undertaking Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees in English Studies, Steven returned to live in Somerset and has just published his first full collection of short stories.

Two of the stories have been entered into the annual Happenstance Story competition while two others have been chosen by new online magazine Albion to Arcadia to be included in their first issue this summer.

From the nightmarish dreamscapes of Mondays to the straightforward modern fable that is Tin Can, this diverse anthology introduces the reader to a world in which nothing is quite what it seems, no matter how much events may initially seem to resemble the life we all know.

The stories are for adults, but Steven has plans to write a children’s book in the future, as well as intending to bring out a collection of poetry in 2010.

Copies are available from Brendon Books, Bath Place, Taunton.
