The best of modern-day short story writing. From flash fiction to
mini-novelette, Fairlight presents The Fairlight Book of Short Stories:
Volume 1, twenty-four of its best short stories from some of the
world's most talented new and emerging English language writers. Chosen
from work sent to Fairlight over several years by writers around the
globe, this anthology celebrates the art of the short story form: a
vehicle with the power to delight, entertain or instantly transport the
reader to another state, another world, another emotion. The authors
include Judith Wilson (winner of the Lorian Hemingway Short Story
Competition, the London Short Story Prize, and shortlisted for Colm
Toibin International Short Story Award) and Adam Trodd (winner of
Benedict Kiely Short Story Competition, and shortlisted for the Cúirt
New Writing Prize, Over The Edge New Writer Of The Year and the Bath
Flash Fiction Award) along with Women's Prize-longlisted author Sophie
van Llewyn.
