Happy Mother's Day! Enjoy My Top Five Mother Stories

Fiction

Top according to who? Myself? My readers? We don't always see eye to eye. Not to mention that arguably, every horror story, hell, every story starts with a Mother somewhere. Weird, good, absent, horrible, terrible, wonderful, amazing, sacrificing, beautiful, pure, crazy fucking insane. It's all about the Mothers.

1- Most recent of all, and we will soon find out if readers enjoy it too, poor Patrick and his terrible Mother, her back always to everyone as she bustles at the kitchen sink:

3- But what about those quiet, everyday moments, all beautifully shaped by Mother's wise yet gentle hand?

5- Mothers are known for making sacrifices for the children, right? It's just what they do!
