Nature's Perfume
Nature's Perfume-the new novella from Mark Towse, the author of Nana, Crows, and Hope Wharf.
Four close friends arrange a trip to the Amazon, all aware this is likely to be their last group outing before the responsibilities of adulthood take them in separate directions. High on adrenaline, plans for an early night before the hike quickly fade, an overindulgence in liquor and drugs setting the stage for the strangest of tales from the locals...and one hell of a hangover.
Fairy stories for adults? Folklore to keep the drinks flowing?
Grab your backpack and mosquito repellent. There's only one way to find out.
Includes bonus novelette "The Masterpiece."
Tom has a masterpiece inside him.
The little devil on his shoulder told him so...and that he should do whatever it takes to make it happen.

Four friends go into the Amazon jungle. It should be the adventure of a lifetime. The lush greenery, the beautiful butterflies, and all the wildlife make it a time to treasure. However, not everything beautiful can be trusted. Sometimes nature is not as kind as it appears.
This was a quick read that I devoured in no time! The setting really added to the isolation and desperation throughout the story. I kept hoping for the best, but I should know better by now.
The addition of a short story following this one about a man with writer’s block, who buys a special typewriter was equally brutal and fun. It was a great addition to the book and really kept up the fun.
If you’re a fan of a quick, wild ride, then join the friends on their jungle adventure. You will never experience anything like it.
