Dark Laughter
Hardcover
(Forgotten Books Oct. 7, 2018)
Excerpt from Dark Laughter Being out to make a night of it they gathered wood to start a fire as soon as they had got to their favorite fishing place. Then everything was all right. Sponge had told Bruce dozens of times that his wife didn't mind anything. She's as tough as a fox terrier, he said. Two children had been born to the couple earlier in life and the oldest, a boy, had got his leg cut off hopping on a train. Sponge spent two hundred and eighty dollars on doctors but might as well have saved the money. The kid had died after six weeks of suffering. When he spoke of the other child, a girl playfully called Bugs Martin, Sponge got a little upset and chewed tobacco more vigorously than usual. She had been a rip-terror right from the start. No doing any thing with her. You couldn't keep her away from the boys. Sponge tried and his wife tried but what good did it do?
