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.
