'Relief' is a collection of short stories. It is a deeply personal and poignant exploration of the human condition, told with a sharp wit and a knowing heart. Each tale balances warmth with irony, offering heartfelt moments wrapped in satire, and insight layered with humour. Topical and intelligent, the stories dissect modern life with analytical precision yet never lose their emotional core. There's a sobering truth beneath the surface of each narrative, tempered by a tongue-in-cheek tone that softens the blow — just enough. Occasionally, a whisper of horror creeps in, not to terrify, but to illuminate the quiet dread that often hides behind the mundane. Altogether, this collection is a mirror held up to our contradictions: funny, tragic, clever, and profoundly human.
