Bad Meringue Susan Marie Shuman

She's back! And she brought her muse with her. Susan Marie Shuman's latest effort, "Bad Meringue & Other Stories" is not a cookbook, by any means. It is an eclectic collage of short stories, micro fiction and poetry that is not to be missed. If you liked "GutterBall" and "Eddie's Underwear", you will adore "Bad Meringue." Some pieces will leave you feeling like you've been punched in the gut, others will leave you grinning, while still others will take your breath away with their sensuality and openness when she addresses the unparalleled heartbreak of unrequited love. In this book, Susan nails the intricacies of the Human Condition like never before. From love-both realized and unrequited-to mental health issues, addiction and childhood/teenage angst ("A Class of 51" and "Mata-Hari") and more, her insights take the reader on an unforgettable journey inside the heads of characters on the fringe of society. And if you're in the mood for an unusual zombie apocalypse read or a peek into the world of disturbed clowns, Ms. Shuman has you covered! Check out "Family Secret" and "Mr. Clown."
