Friday Afternoon and Other Stories
“…is a tour de force that will stay with you for a very long time.” – Warren Slesinger, award-winning author, poet, and retired senior editor of the University of South Carolina Press
Beaufort, SC-March 2016—Friday Afternoon and Other Stories, the debut collection of short stories from storyteller T.D. Johnston, is a vibrant volume of variously flawed characters wobbling down the road of human existence – building tension as they go. Johnston’s compassion for his characters is compelling and crucial to understanding people much like ourselves—proving that true suspense derives from moral choices.
Each of the 12 stories in the Friday Afternoon collection explores a wide range of both subject matter and genre, with masterful attention to the old-age elements of tight and nuanced writing.
”To read a T.D. Johnston story is to plunge head first into the world of unforgettable characters, 3-D experiences, and stunning surprises.”—Marjorie Brody, award-winning author and Pushcart Prize nominee, author of Twisted
