Set in the American south, LOVE, GUNS & GOD IN AMERICA follows two young children-fleeing a white nationalist upbringing-and their chance encounter with a large mythical man in the woods, who helps them on their journey to California. When captured, events take a horrific, racial turn, one that many years later still haunts all those involved. LOVE, GUNS & GOD IN AMERICA is both thrilling and timely.

Christian Fennell's, THE FIDDLER IN THE NIGHT, is a return by the author to the raw, abstract, and visceral landscapes set forth in his critically acclaimed collection of short stories, TORRENTS OF OUR TIME. In his debut novel, Fennell takes the reader on an orphaned teen's journey through the darker recesses of rural America--horrifying, yet compelling--where he tries to stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer. A tragic love story unfolding against a background that is both real and imagined, making this novel as memorable for its language as for its non-stop and blistering storyline.

In What I Know About the Human Race, Christian Fennell explores the concept of humanity today through varying forms of writing: fiction, essays, poetry, reviews, and a one act play. A writer's playbook. A reader's unforgettable journey.

A gifted storyteller with a wide-ranging audience, Christian Fennell challenges the weakness in the heart of all our "truths," while illuminating our dreams and our fears. These are stories that reside in the broken places of us, a stunning dance between our flaws and the beauty and joy of who we are. Taken as a whole, Torrents of Our Time is a lyrical and page-turning narrative of love, loss, and pain.Whatever expectations one might have of a book of dark, realist short stories set in rural America, this collection defies them, and instead weaves an elegant song of sadness, dark humour, and strangeness." - Neon Books UK"Many of Fennell's stories, which employ different narrative techniques, create effective tension and suspense." - Kirkus Reviews"This book is simply Douglas Adams but written for small-town America. This is a Hitchhiker's Guide to small-town America."- Book Heaven¿"Christian Fennell writes stories to savour. Sharp, salty and sly, they come at you sideways with a shot of poignancy when you least expect it - and a twist of humour when you most need it." - Katy Darby, Director, Liars' League London
