A powerful short story that makes you wake up to domestic violence, an ever so real situation that occurs on a daily basis.

A very powerful and emotive story. It captured me completely and I couldn't stop reading until I had finished it...... I will recommend it to others.

This is a short but far from sweet story. That's not a comment on the writinng, but on the relationship the writing depicts. Howells pulls no punches, much like the thug of the title, who brutally betrays his girlfriend's trust and affection by, well... read the story and you'll see. Written to raise the issue of domestic violence, it leaves no doubt (as if there ever could be any) of the cowardly brutality of those 'men' who hide their inadequacies behind their fists.
