Rampaging behemoths, giant, washed-up fishtails, mysterious briefcases, role-playing cuddly toys ... The world of the short story is a weird and wonderful one, made even stranger by the unique assortment of characters that crop up in them. Incongruity seems to be their secret ingredient - or rather the right kind of incongruity, an artful one that punctuates the flat realism of most literature and inserts an isolated moment, an atomised truth.
Comma's second anthology of new writers showcases 20 of the most imaginative and daring voices taking up the form; writers dedicated to charting the far reaches of this terrain right at the outset of their careers; writers who prove it's best to stay short.

Industry Reviews

"Reasserts and cherishes the short story form's ingrained oddness, its unique kind of drama and its potential to surprise." --Independent on Sunday "A treasure trove....From the first earth-shattering story 'Testicular Cancer vs The Behemoth, ' in which terminal illness collides with a literally world-smashing monster, to the enigmatic 'Road, ' where a man struggles for help with a mysterious briefcase, this book is a true rarity." --Aethetica Magazine "Takes readers on nail-biting adventures... vital and imaginative." --Big Issue
