"A talent for razor-sharp, satirical observation."
Nigel Jenkins

Eleven stories based loosely around contraception. Wild explores sex and its consequences on the characters that inhabit the gritty but humorous world she has created with a wit and flair reminiscent of Rachel Trezise.

Susie Wild’s debut collection is a quirky mix in which tales of the fantastic and the everyday are told with inimitable style and flair. The deranged cravings of a mum-to-be lead to the accidental poisoning of her co-worker in ‘Pica’. Rob holidays in his bathroom and dreams about his underage love interest in ‘Aquatic Life’. The poignant and subtle novella ‘Arrivals’ unfolds slowly, revealing a mother and daughter in opposite corners of the planet, both experiencing their own personal revelation.

Susie Wild has 2 MAs because she is greedy for knowledge – one in Journalism from Goldsmith’s College and one in Creative Writing from Swansea University. Susie’s debut short film, featuring her poem ‘Dim Smoking, Girls,’ won the Co-Op Award for New Directors at Beyond TV Festival 2007.
