A varied collection of short stories and poetry from several authors based in the Midwest. A little bit of romance, fantasy, science fiction, slice of life and even the truth about Roswell! A nice selection of tales for those in a hurry, but still wanting to stimulate their minds.

Meet a concubine who is buried alive with her lord; a girl in Rio who longs to dance the samba; a writer who seeks his muse in an Italian piazza; a farmer who invites the Queen to muck out his pig pen; a pantomime dame; a highly dysfunctional family; a film star who drinks blood - we could go on. But no: see for yourselves in this entertaining collection of stories, novel extracts, poems and flash fiction from Exeter Writers' Group.
