​

This 2019 anthology completes a trilogy of short stories written by authors from across the OX29 postcode over the last three years.

 

In this edition, 17 authors - several of whom have written for all three anthologies - have once again set out to entertain, provoke, surprise and amuse with an array of fictional tales across a broad range of genres.

Oxfordshire's beautiful towns feature as the backdrop to several stories, yet many also take you further afield with a haunting journey to 
Liverpool, a terminal job in Northampton and a night from hell during a road trip in America.

 

Nothing is quite as it should be in this selection of stories. Beware, those you fear may well be on your side, whether human or not! 

 

We invite you to take a break, sit down and enjoy these short stories during your busy life – and, as you read, feel glad that life is as we know it, not as presented here.

The anthology can be bought from Amazon.
