Farm Thriller

In real life, no one tells you what is happening. You pick “the truth” up by combining tidbits of information, gossip, newspaper fillers, rumor, confidential memos, telephone messages, fake news and maybe-fake-news-but-who-knows. A Hat Rack in a Snake Farm is written as a collection of the above which, together, reveal the story. This is an on-the-ground look at what happens when there are millions of public dollars "for the taking" and the corporate hyenas gather.

At the Farmhouse by Edward Frederic Benson tells the story of a landscape painter, who after twenty years of hideous marriage to an abusive and drunken local woman who is rumoured to be a witch, sets off to murder her. In his pocket is a ball of strong twine with which he will strangle her, and a box of matches with which he will set light to the farmhouse to destroy the evidence of his crime. After that he will be free... What happens when he reaches the farmhouse is gruesome, uncanny and totally unexpected.
