Best British Short Stories invites you to judge a book by its cover - or
more accurately, by its title. This new series aims to reprint the best
short stories published in the previous calendar year by British
writers, whether based in the UK or elsewhere. The editor's brief is
wide ranging, covering anthologies, collections, magazines, newspapers
and web sites, looking for the best of the bunch to reprint all in one
volume. Neither genre nor Granta shall be overlooked in the search for
the very best new short fiction. The first book of the series includes
stories published in 2010 by the following authors: David Rose, Hilary
Mantel, Lee Rourke, Leone Ross, Claire Massey, Christopher Burns, Adam
Marek, SJ Butler, Heather Leach, Alan Beard, Kirsty Logan, Philip
Langeskov, Bernie McGill, John Burnside, Robert Edric, Michèle Roberts,
Dai Vaughan, Alison Moore and Salley Vickers.
