‘This collection of shorts is as varied as you could hope for, and several contain that magic ingredient – that thing that makes you think of the story long after you’ve finished reading it… The style and scope of the many writers included in this compilation give the reader the opportunity to visit new, unexpected worlds and styles. Each has a distinctive tone, each delivering a well-crafted piece of writing’ —TSS Publishing (theshortstory.co.uk)
