Renegade Wales

A manic preacher, a sex-crazed teenager, and a suspected witch are just three of the unforgettable characters that walk the land of these short stories from a new generation of Welsh writers.

The stories in this collection are funny, poignant, thrilling and are, in one way or another, deeply political. They are stories of hope even when they are stories of anger. They draw upon ancient myth, old tropes, and reliable structures to explore ideas that are bitingly relevant not just to the world we live in, but to the world we hope to win back from dark powers.

Renegade Wales is a collection of exciting new voices in Welsh literature who are taking on the new world order with vibrancy of style and energy of wit.

Wales: the birthplace of modern democracy, of Dylan Thomas and home of radical working-class intellectualism. These short stories mark a new dawn in exciting, brilliant literature from a land that traces its literature back to the mystical times of The Mabinogion.
