Raw Material is a new collection of short stories from one of Hull¿s foremost twenty-first century writers. Some of the characters in these tales are writers too ¿ others are murderers, some are both. One is Led Zeppelin¿s Robert Plant. Some may not be human; but that would be telling. ¿Do not expect gentle bedtime stories from Sue Wilseäs latest collection. Rather, expect to grip your seat in anticipation ¿ of wonderful words that grip and explode and then tug earnestly at your inner self.¿ ¿ Val Wood ¿This wise, beautiful collection explores themes of living and dying, succeeding and failing, loving and hating, creating and failing to create. The stories¿ narrators are a delight ¿ I was completely engrossed by this collection from start to finish.¿ ¿ Cassandra Parkin
