Description:These pieces were all written on the Comma Press Short Story Course facilitated by John D. Rutter at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston. The group met once a month for six months. Each session involved some critique from peers and the tutor of their own work, a close look at examples of stories from other writers as well as theory and practice of the craft.In the words of the editor of the anthology, John D. Rutter, these ten new stories are all about something or someone lost as short stories often are. They range from realistic tales of lost parents and broken relationships to sibling rivalry and moments of anxiety at or after work. Several venture in to the realm of speculative fiction and the surreal with an alien visitor in an old couple’s kitchen, different perspectives in two tales about rodents, animate furniture, and crosswords on a page coming to life. In every case the invention and talent of this group of new authors is a delight and the crossed words and misunderstandings are shown with sensitivity and originality. As the best stories do, there is something elusive, even cryptic, and the reader will be left wondering what has happened outside these brief moments.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
