If You Go Into The Woods (Kindle Edition)I enjoyed David Graughran's stories. 'If You Go into the Woods' conjures up the life of a lonely boy who becomes enraptured by something magical in the wood. I won't give away the end but it is a clever one which left me feeling a mixture of sorrow, wonder and hope.I enjoyed 'The Reset Button' even more. The narrator Linus is a person who you would rather read about than live with. His saving grace is his, in the main, honest opinion of himself. Graughan again introduces a touch of the magical into this story but it is a type of magic which some people in cities experience daily, that of alienation.The writer's characterisation is good and his dialogue crisp and authentic. As a writer myself I am impressed by the impact of these jewels of stories. I look forward to reading more of his work.Martin LakePick and MixThe Lost King: Resistance
