Updated in a new edition, with a new Foreword and including the
extra story 'The Second Spark.' Containing 31 stories written in
the 31 days of January 2011, this collection of flash-fictions
spans a wide range of genres and styles: from science-fiction to an
unconventional love story, from pulp noir to the apocalypse, from
magical realism to the magic of life. "There's a surreal fantasy
about a town struck by an attack of metaphors, a futuristic
investigation into prosthetic noses, and a poignant contemplation
on holding hands. Calum Kerr's flash fictions are funny and moving
and leap off the page with all the immediacy and urgency with which
they were written." - David Gaffney, author of The Half Life of
Songs "Such a treat... I was reading it thinking ah, so this is
what good flash fiction is like. These should have won prizes and
been lauded to the skies... The best and most energetic book of
flash I've read for aeons " - Cathy Bryant, author of Contains
Strong Language and Scenes of a Sexual Nature Calum Kerr is the
director of National Flash--Fiction Day.
