Collected Stories, By Janice Galloway
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Scottish writer Janice Galloway has a reputation for going where more polite writers fear to tread. Comprising short stories from the author's debut collection, Blood, and the acclaimed Where You Find It, this includes some of the author's most distinctive work.
Set in brightly-lit chip shops, Motherwell shopping centres, children's playgrounds and lovers' bedrooms, Galloway's stories, many related in the first person, capture both passionate relationships and moments of casual cruelty between children and friends.
In "Bisex", a woman waits at home imagining her man with a male lover but at the same time worrying about him having to sit alone in a bar; while in "Blood", a teenage girl inadvertently stains the expensive equipment of a school music room. This original collection will wake up the most jaded palate.
