MEDIA REVIEWS
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.
-- Shelley Marsden * Irish World *Let's hope this series becomes an annual fixture.
-- Chris Power * The Guardian *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
-- Lovereading UKAn awesome anthology from an exciting publisher. Features some writers you know, alongside those you'll hear more of in the future.
-- Waterstones, ReadingStories that linger long after the first reading, and many that demand to be read again.
* hilaireinlondon.wordpress.com *Nicholas Royle's affair with all things uncanny shines through.
-- Clare Conlon * Bookmunch *Royle's (excellent) taste means that little explosions of weirdness or transcendence often erupt amid much well-observed everyday life.
-- Boyd Tonkin * The Independent *Highly recommended
