Commentary Supposing Books The Bat (The Red Grouse Tales) - A coming of age story involving a search after truth, doubt and a bat! (The Red Grouse Tales)
What is true? What is truth?An adult, speculative, spiritual and philosophical coming of age story.
An old and now sceptical Thomas looks back on the events of his last term at school when his class returned to a new beautiful class teacher, a donation of stuffed animals and birds by an eccentric benefactor and the increasingly strange events which followed. Zoological specimens appeared to be not quite as dead as they looked. A bell-jar which had contained a stuffed bat shattered during an exorcism, after which what had been strange events turned to being sinister and frightening.
As a then naive young Thomas searched for the truth, he found himself, questioning ‘good and evil’, realising that his task is not as simple and straightforward as he would have wished and in so doing loosing his innocence and having to accept that belief may have as much to do with truth as do facts.
A tale for those who like to think on what they are reading.
(Warning to sensitive readers; the story is an adult one and so does contain references to sex)

Garlands The Bat! When Thomas teacher is replaced, all hell breaks loose as strange specimens come back to life. This is a story about the meaning of good and evil and the value of belief.

The Red Grouse Inn, a place where stories are told & shared with subsequently have now been written down. What better than a cozy watering hole & a tale or two by the log fire. I dont know if there is a log fire but I like to think there is. The Bat is a story of childhood whimsy & imagination in the school days way back when, crushes on your teacher-Miss loveless, naughty friends-The Thompson twins, Christianity & dead stuffed animals.One in particular being The Bat, a literal
"...Which "truth" do you wish to belief?" The last sentence of the book shows us a whole story in a whole new light. From the beginning, I was pulled into the story by the story-teller Tom, who was an incredibly smart child as I was reading thoroughly. But this book wasn't about bats, not about magic nor religion, even when it looks like it. The Bat from my point of view shows us a life-long battle between emotions (Tom) which are mostly confusing and brain (Bobby). We can choose. We have to
Another excellent tale taken from the excellent Red Grouse collection: stories purportedly told to the author in a pub of the same name. The Bat takes place before the action of some of the other tales and if you have read others, you might recognise some characters. The protagonist Tom tells a story of strange events that occurred whilst he was at school. There is some great scene setting and descriptions of the various teachers and some of his friends. One day the school receives a strange
This made me think of the early Stephen King books I loved reading years ago. The writing is very well done and the wistful narration adds so much to the already well thought out plot. The Thomas character is well-developed and multi-layered so you really feel for him and feel draw into the story and subsequently his experiences. Id never read anything by Graney previously and this was a pleasant surprise for me how much I enjoyed The Bat. As this is the second book in the Red grouse Tales Ill
