-POET AND AUTHOR-
JAC WRIGHT
SUMMERSET TALES
SUMMERSET TALES is the author and poet Jac Wright's literary short fiction collection in which Wright explores characters struggling against their passions and social circumstances in the semi-fictional region of England called Summerset, partly the region that Thomas Hardy called Wessex. Wright writes of contemporary life in England and seeks to create a collection of individual literary short fiction to paint a colourful portrait of English society in the times that we live along the traditions of Thomas Hardy's Wessex Tales. Some of the stories - including the first story in the series, The Closet - carry an added element of suspense similar to Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected.

Love is a battlefield. Who will get out of it alive?
​​Harry Duncan Wood runs a hotel in the historic city of Bath with his beautiful young wife. When he falls in love with Mill House, an old greystone farmhouse on the banks of river Avon among the soaring hills of Somerset, and sets about moving his family there, the first appearances of the cracks in the marriage take him by surprise. Is his wife seeing another man? Duncan needs to get to the bottom of the affairs for his own sanity. Sometimes, however, ignorance is bliss and will also keep everybody alive.
The Closet is written in the tradition of Thomas Hardy's Wessex Tales as the first in the collection of literary short fiction win an added element of suspense similar to tTales of the Unexpected by Roald Dahl. The Closet accompanies the first title in the author's full-length literary suspense series, The Reckless Engineer.
