Within these pages you will find 22 short stories crammed with characters from history, from myth and legend, and from next door. Abigail Wyatt's imagination will surprise and delight short story lovers everywhere. 'I guess that most people, if they are honest, will admit to having one nasty secret, some action or experience, either from their childhood or a long-ago, lost life, the recollection of which fills them with horror, guilt, or disgust; or, perhaps, makes them blush to the roots of their hair with stomach-churning, toe-curling embarrassment. It's natural to suppress such memories - and, in this, I'm no different to most guys - but sometimes it seems that there's something out there that won't let matters rest. At such times, you could almost swear there's this great universal finger that wag, wag, wags away from one side of the ether to the other and then pokes its nail-bitten end deep in someone's private pie...' From Audi Alterem Partem

Welcome to the third instalment, book three on the journey to a million stories, but of course it is about more than just the numbers. It is about the creative spirit that has given us the drive to write, the energy to express what we think, feel or desire. This year has been a year of innovation and new ideas at millionstories.net. The 52 Shorts Challenge invited writers to respond to weekly writing prompts. As an experiment it helped some authors achieve some incredible results, with fantastic leaps of the imagination combined with terrific industry. It was devised as a way to coach writers into a regular writing habit over the course of a year. Some of these stories are right here in this collection. Within these pages you will discover commentary on the London riots, the monsoon, living with HIV, celebrity, the perils of invisibility, environmental vandalism, ghosts, monsters and a nice cup of tea.

Short-listed for the 2020 PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Short Story Collection “As profound as it is lyrical. The stories are music.” —Marcela Davison Avilés, NPR In Ayse Papatya Bucak’s dreamlike narratives, dead girls recount gas explosions and a chess-playing automaton falls in love. A student stops eating, and no one knows whether her act is personal or political. A Turkish wrestler, a hero in the East, is seen as a brute in the West. And in the masterful title story, the Greek god Apollo confronts his personal history to memorialize, and make sense of, generations of war. A joy and a provocation, Bucak’s stories confront the nature of memory with humor and myth, performance and authenticity.

The thirty-two stories in this new collection reflect the differences between man's real self and the various masks he has to wear in a Romanian society that vacillates between nostalgia for its communist past and restrained optimism about its capitalist future. The characters, who are taken from all walks of life, face constant political intrigues, moral dilemmas, and/or family crises. They must find a way to fit their own life stories, however insignificant, within the often ruthless history of their native land. Written in a journalistic style, and based very loosely on incidents that the author encountered while working for a local newspaper, these stories are filled with unexpected twists and turns, pathos, and small glimpses of average and extraordinary people coping with real-life crises. Gripping tales from Eastern Europe!
