Kiss Me: Short Story

Front Cover
Harper Collins, Nov 20, 2012 - Fiction - 50 pages

When a terrible accident changes the protagonist’s physical appearance, he spirals into depression. Can he come to terms with his new reality before he pushes away his lover?

The thirteen stories in Andrew Pyper’s intense and artful short-story collection, Kiss Me, deal with the issues, sensibilities and intangible estrangements of contemporary youth. But there are no neat and tidy coming-of-age passages here: these are narratives about reaching out—and often failing to touch—one another in a time of both privilege and fracture.

HarperCollins brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms. Look for more titles in the HarperCollins short-stories collection to build your digital library.
