The Black Flower by Holden Sheppard

 

After watching the amazing Invisible Boys I was keen to explore more of Holden Sheppard’s word.


The Black Flower is a short story that is gut wrenching – honest about the damage passed through generations – confronting about the destructive nature of addiction – written so well.


Also included is A Man – an even shorter story – a day, ordinary, but told with a punch that makes us pay attention.


Both examples of the greater skill is to write short stories, complete in themselves, than long stories.
