Notes From The Superhorse Stable by Nigel Jarrett
Resting actor Francis Taylor discovers a long-lost relative on Ancestry and embarks on a journey to the South Coast with his partner, Julie, that will end with an astonishing revelation. Not the least of its mysteries is the way the animal kingdom makes frequent appearances in Francis's tale, as though they were auditioning for parts
Jarrett's stories take seemingly ordinary or innocent situations and tease out their emotional complexity - Lesley McDowell, The Independent; Stylistically refreshing and with a conscious attempt to do something different, the book rightly claims a unique space among currently published fiction - Hammad Rind, NationCymru
Nigel is a former daily-newspaperman and a double prize-winner: the Rhys Davies Award for short fiction and, in 2016, the inaugural Templar Shorts award. His first story collection, Funderland, published by Parthian, was praised by the Guardian, the Independent, the Times and many others, and was long-listed for the Edge Hill Prize.
His début poetry collection, Miners At The Quarry Pool, also from Parthian, was described by Agenda poetry magazine as 'a virtuoso performance'. His first novel, Slowly Burning (GG Books) was published in 2016, as was his second story collection, Who Killed Emil Kreisler? (Cultured Llama Publishing).
Last year, Templar published his three-story pamphlet, A Gloucester Trilogy.
Based in Monmouthshire, he also writes for the Wales Arts Review, Arts Scene in Wales, Slightly Foxed, Acumen poetry magazine, and several others. He is a regular contributor to Jazz Journal magazine. His poetry, fiction and essays appear widely. For many years he was a daily newspaper music critic, and now freelances in that capacity. He is represented in the Library of Wales's two-volume anthology of 20th- and 21st-century short fiction.
