1 1 y separately published work icon What You Might Find : Short Stories Richard Holt , Strawberry Hills : Spineless Wonders , 2018 13552938 2018 selected work short story

'In his debut collection, What you might find, Richard Holt invites readers into corners that become dark, into places in which they do not belong and into moments that will change things utterly for his imperfect protagonists.

'Characters grapple with misunderstandings, the weight of pasts and the moments when fates change course. As a collection it provides points of light and darkness within an overarching narrative of human fallibility.'
