'Scrimstone' Tom Hirons
The latest book by Tom Hirons
"LISTEN TO ME. I wasn’t born for birthday parties and clean handkerchiefs or scented candles in the bath. I didn’t come here for your mother’s approval at the dinner table, for string quartets on the lawn or a pat on the back and a cigar from your dear old dad.
No. I was born for blood and feathers on the roadside, for sea shanties that end in knife-fights and the smell of kerosene, a woman’s hot breath by the harbour walls at dawn…”
‘So begins SCRIMSTONE, the tale of a pickpocket, murderer, circus ringmaster and priest from Tom Hirons, author of Sometimes a Wild God and Nettle-Eater.’- Hedgespoken Press
