ZOO

David Wellbrook’s passion for the format ensures a constant contrast as readers read their way through this compelling assortment, putting him squarely at the forefront of the literary zeitgeist. With an eclectic mix of short stories that will amuse even the hardened of personalities, ZOO has something for everyone, hence the title.
