Book: Nights of the Creaking Bed
Author: Toni Kan
Publisher: Cassava Republic Press. Page count: 166pp
Reviewer: Isabella E.C. Akinseye
A good review of a potentially engaging collection of short stories.
Here is a foretaste: Nights of the Creaking Bed is like poetry; Toni Kan uses the minimum amount of words to tell all 14 stories with just the right amount of detail that you, the reader, feel that you were right there with the characters.
The collection of stories opens with the eponymous story ‘Nights of the Creaking Bed'. From the first line: "My mother was a kept woman," the tone of the piece is set. We go on to hear about this mother who has been ‘f***** somebody's husband'.
Sounds cool, doesn't it?
I like Tony Kan's spirit. He has a lot to offer.
