The Coward Files These enchanting tales encompass a world where people find themselves in everyday situations, like licking hardwood floors or stabbing a helpless squirrel with a stick or partaking in a wild vigilante cock-fighting shakedown. Let's just say the content of these eleven stories is amazing and will make you a better, wiser person. If it doesn't, we suggest purchasing another copy of the book and trying again. Everyone is a coward. Spiders, heights, failure, love -- we're all afraid of something. Not Ryan Arnold, though. He's not afraid of anything. Okay, maybe he is afraid of one thing. The expensive, low-profile lawsuits that will inevitably bankrupt the publisher upon release of these stories. "Snappy, wry, lurid and surprisingly tender stories. With writerly legerdemain and with great humour, Ryan Arnold makes an exhilarating debut. The cast of characters in The Coward Files will lurch and lick and cringe and chip their way into your sense of what's new in fiction."
