Beyond The Grave The Price Tag and The Crown Reviewed in The Sydney Morning Herald, March 25-26, 2006 Spectrum, IN SHORT FICTION Comments from Peter Bishop on my short story The Price Tag which is included in this anthology:
I've known the work of Sharon Rundle for some years. Let me invent a category for writing such as Sharon's: quiet hauntings. You read the story, and hours later and then hours after that you realise it's still there in your mind:
'Since my father retired he has been roped into helping with his wife's good works. Laying up treasures in heaven, as she calls it.
After dinner she's a whirlwind in the kitchen, making cakes and tarts and biscuits for the old people. The rich smell of pastry and cooked fruit sends sweet messages to my stomach and I burn my tongue on a jam tart.
"Don't feel you have to wash up, dear," she says. "Just because I've been up to my elbows on my feet all day."'
Quiet but deadly.
Peter Bishop, Director of Varuna The Writers' House.
