In this collection of exquisite, mischievously dark short stories, Jeremy Brock pushes deep into the human psyche and life’s strange twists. We encounter a brother and sister whose lives are upended when they are destined to meet again – but fail to do so; a girl who discovers her young sister talking to a stranger under the kitchen table in the darkest hours; and a gold prospector who chases the twists and turns of rivers, roads and acquaintances, for the dreams and riches of precious stones. Dark Chocolates is the first collection in a forthcoming series from a promising new voice in storytelling.
