What it says on the tin. Our trio of stories today entail barroom brawls.
A scunner gets short shrift in The Skelf, a nippy wee piece from Grangemouth-born author Andrew McCallum Crawford. A bully receives his comeuppance in The Message, a tale of small-town bigotry from Mister McStoryteller, Brendan Gisby. And a belligerent drunk pays the price in The Cooler, a slice of violence from Cincinnati musician and writer Marc Spahn. Enjoy, but beware – there are sweary words aplenty! It’s Easter Sunday, a time of celebration for all Christians. So what better time to give religious divisions a hefty kick up the arse?
Supplying the kick is one of our favourite McStorytellers, Dumbarton-born writer and blogger Kevin McCallum with an outrageously irreverent and funny piece called The Glasgow Resurrection. Enjoy the story. Enjoy Easter. F**k religious sectarianism! Today marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Galloway’s greatest novelist, Samuel Rutherford Crockett. To commemorate this event, we’re delighted to bring you, courtesy of Cally Phillips of Ayton Publishing, three stories which show the breadth of his skills:
North to the Arctic (first published in 1895) Barraclough’s (first published in 1908) The Progress of Cleg Kelly, Mission Worker (first published in 1893) S. R. Crockett was a prolific writer with more than 60 published novels in his lifetime and many more stories which were published in the popular magazines of the day. He wrote history, adventure and romance, and much of his work was set in Scotland, especially in his native Galloway. A 32-volume collection is republished on this special day as The Galloway Collection and is available in both ebook and paperback formats from Ayton Publishing. We hope you'll enjoy the three stories and that they'll encourage you to read much more of S. R. Crockett’s work. |
