Pages : 215
Book Description
A dazzling new anthology of the very best very short fiction from around the world. What is a flash fiction called in other countries? In Latin America it is a micro, in Denmark kortprosa, in Bulgaria mikro razkaz. These short shorts, usually no more than 750 words, range from linear narratives to the more unusual: stories based on mathematical forms, a paragraph-length novel, a scientific report on volcanic fireflies that proliferate in nightclubs. Flash has always—and everywhere—been a form of experiment, of possibility. A new entry in the lauded Flash and Sudden Fiction anthologies, this collection includes 86 of the most beautiful, provocative, and moving narratives by authors from six continents, including best-selling writer Etgar Keret, Zimbabwean writer Petina Gappah, Korean screenwriter Kim Young-ha, Nobel Prize winner Czeslaw Milosz, and Argentinian “Queen of the Microstory” Ana María Shua, among many others. These brilliantly chosen stories challenge readers to widen their vision and celebrate both the local and the universal.

Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Flash Science Fiction for Kids: An AnthologyKen Stiles, Ed. Motivating reluctant readers is always a challenge. Flash Science Fiction for Kids offers a solution. This new anthology compiled by Ken Stiles presents “flash science fiction” — short, easy to read tales that tap into a child's interest in science and stir the imagination. Children can relate to many of the young protagonists and their predicaments, such as the forlorn, embarrassed little alien who gets stuck in a coin-operated ride, or the siblings who squabble over doing household chores (with a twist!), or the young socialite bewildered as to which utensil to use at an intergalactic dinner party. This thought-provoking and often humorous collection contains 20 “drabbles” (stories of exactly 100 words) and 10 longer “flash fiction” tales, each under 1,500 words from beginning to end, packed with entertaining characters and colorful adventures. Both reluctant and strong readers will enjoy this collection of flash science fiction stories for some good old-fashioned fun.

Book Description
Three men, one love—and a passion he only ever dreamed of. Karel Novak is content with his busy job in hotel refurbishment, enjoying the social scene in Soho, London and the company of new friends he met through working at With A Kick. All he’s missing is a special man in his life. Or maybe two. His first meeting with the mercurial pole dancer Leroy and his socially anxious partner Griff isn’t impressive, but none of them can ignore the sexual spark that flares between the three men. Their relationship builds in steps of passion, frustration, and finally love. Both Leroy and Griff have complex issues in their lives to work through, and at first Karel brings a new dynamic that both settles and supports them. But although he loves his men, Karel gradually realises the issues are still present. His partners struggle with living individually as well as together. His heartfelt wish is for them to create a lasting bond as a trio—but that means putting others first, all too often. And will that mean sacrificing his own joy and dreams?
