Synopsis
Spanning centuries and continents, the stories in this collection amount to a tour de force of literary worldbuilding. From deeply insecure time travellers to medieval mystics and futuristic body modification cults, Norminton's characters find themselves torn between conflicting impulses - temptation and fortitude, hubris and shame, longing and regret. By turns sad, strange and darkly comic, The Ghost Who Bled reveals a master storyteller of incredible range.

What Reviewers Are Saying
'Good fiction encourages us to look at the world from another's perspective, and in his new short story collection, Norminton explores this idea in extremis... Norminton's host of vivid characters and minutely realised situations transfix; we can't help but share the "bitter-almond taste of fear" of the various snares of these lives.' - The Guardian; 'This is a sublime collection of short stories by a writer whose breath-taking flexibility of style gives life to an array of different voices... Unfailingly beautiful, deceptively simple and lyrically powerful.' - The Irish Times
