If you are new to short stories or are going to get only one short story collection this year then we recommend this one highly
Let's hope this series becomes an annual fixture.
An awesome anthology from an exciting publisher. Features some writers you know, alongside those you'll hear more of in the future.
Royle's (excellent) taste means that little explosions of weirdness or transcendence often erupt amid much well-observed everyday life.
Nicholas Royle's affair with all things uncanny shines through.
Highly recommended
If the aim of this collection is to show the scope of the short story, then it does so well ... Thought-provoking and highly recommended. weniger anzeigen expand_less
