The Hunting Party

Kindle $1.99 Rating: 4.0 #ad
During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of thirtysomething friends from Oxford meet to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students ten years ago. For this vacation, they’ve chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands—the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves.
The trip begins innocently enough: admiring the stunning if foreboding scenery, champagne in front of a crackling fire, and reminiscences about the past. But after a decade, the weight of secret resentments has grown too heavy for the group’s tenuous nostalgia to bear…

IMAGINING MORE and Other Stories
by Panayotis Cacoyannis
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 5.0 #ad
Melancholy, bitingly satirical, occasionally tragic and frequently romantic, IMAGINING MORE and Other Stories brings together a kaleidoscope of flawed, searching characters, among them actors, writers, troubled artists, striving to make sense of themselves, their relationships, and their place in the world.
The fifteen stories’ protagonists are confronted with impossible dilemmas, or are forced to ask unanswerable questions: Is love the meaning of life? Is sex the meaning of love? What does it mean to be dead? Is “the truth” more important than happiness? Is there ever a single, “objective” view of reality?
“The focus on art and perception ties together disparate stories, suggesting that the act of creation mirrors the human effort to find meaning and beauty in the nuances and entanglements of life… acts of cruelty or betrayal coexist with moments of profound insight or aesthetic clarity.” Kirkus Reviews
