Books published by Walk in My Shoes Publications

Scoffers Will Come is the second collection of short stories from David Porter, one-time drama student, children's theatre performer, drama teacher, examiner/assessor, political organiser and Member of Parliament. Accompanying the anthology, Wild Beasts and Plague (2018), here are new stories and re-dreamed tales from the 1960s to the present day and beyond. They play through strange and normal times, absurdity and surrealism, dark humour, tragedy, suffering, thwarted plans and growing old - the lot of human life. They wind through life's quirks, character idiosyncrasies, from natural settings to the obscure in the style he's developed over a lifetime of writing, public speaking, performing and presenting. 'Walk in My Shoes Publications' is the imprint of a man suffering the deformed feet of the condition, Charcot Marie Tooth disease. The short story compilations and the dark revenge novel Old Men's Dreams (2015) are available in paperback and Kindle versions.

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.
