Disappearing Act
Disappearing Act: A Host of Other Characters in 16 Short Stories | Robert Sheehan
1 post | 3 to read
In his debut collection of short stories, Robert Sheehan disappears into characters, challenging the complacencies of everyday experience, often from entirely unexpected angles. Informed by the author’s peripatetic life, Disappearing Act reflects on the absurdity of human behaviour. Sheehan delves deep into his characters’ streams of self-talk and self-imposed delusions, exploring the dark impulses that lurk below the shiny surfaces of many outwardly normal lives. Dark and provocative, the collection will stay with the reader long after the book is finished. Warning: Contains Adult Content

I don't typically take to works by actors-turned-writers. And I don't typically like short stories. But I am intrigued by the wild, wonderful brain of Robert Sheehan and his approach to having written 16 "characters" instead of 16 stories, so let's see if we can't smash some preconceived notions! #BookMail #CurrentlyReading

MinnieTimperley I did not know this existed. I have loved him since Misfits. Thank you for sharing! I love the cover art. 3y
Andrea313 @MinnieTimperley So glad to share! I've also loved him since Misfits, and then beyond...Love/Hate, Umbrella Academy...he's become one of my favorite actors. Hope you enjoy the read! 3y
