Wild Beasts and Plague short storiesPaperback, 21 February 2018

Wild Beasts and Plague is a collection of short stories from the 1960s to the present day and beyond set around life's recurring and challenging themes including revenge, jealousy, growing old, inadequacy, thwarted ambition, memories, death and the dark side of life. Herein lies madness, humour and absurdity, the past, present and future, surrealism, fantasy and ideas whose time may have been and gone. Or not. From the pen of David Porter, some-time drama student, children's theatre performer, drama teacher, examiner, political organiser and Member of Parliament, they are drawn from real and imagined life, all speaking volumes of the way we live, react to each other and finally, die off.
