Piffingcap by #AECoppard
Another tale with a quirky title, "Piffingcap" is about a barber and a magical shaving cup, or is it cursed. It depends upon your need. The barber finds himself wanting to lose the cup, find the cup, and then what is the price paid in this quest.
Coppard puts sly humour and observations on rural & small town life, as he builds from what could be a whimsical folktale, to one in which dire consequences arise from poorly thought out choices. Anyone up for a close shave with the supernatural?
