Sinopsis

The Unreliable Nature Writer is the eagerly-awaited debut collection of exhilarating, macabre and dreamy short stories from Claire Carroll. Shortlisted for The White Review Prize and winner of the Short Fiction Wild Writing Prize, Carroll portrays an unsettlingly hot, vaguely familiar world of humans facing the strain of intimate and global anxieties – trying to live alongside new technologies, failing environments and unknowable natural crises. Delightful to read and unsettling to imagine, these are haunting stories about love, loss, strangely-exposing housing applications and cows.

    "Short Stories" Quentin Drummond Anderson 
    In a world where reality is curated and truth engineered like algorithms, Quentin Drummond Anderson's "Short Stories" presents narratives blurring perception and deception. Inspired by Dahl and Maugham, these tales explore modern ambition where technology, power, and morality collide with unexpected results. 
    The ten stories reveal different facets of contemporary society. "The Digital Prophet" follows a tech mogul whose empire of lies collapses, revealing he's been deceived himself. "The Influencer's Shadow" exposes the fabrications beneath a social media star's curated perfection. 
    Anderson navigates shifting moral landscapes. In "Paper Tigers," rival spies discover their deception game serves larger, unseen powers. "Greenwashed" explores sustainability's dark underbelly, where noble causes mask ulterior motives. "Memory Architects" confronts the ethics of reconstructing—and essentially rewriting—the past. 
    Power dynamics thread throughout: who wields it, manipulates it, or falls victim. "The Philanthropist" explores high finance's seductive world, while "The Algorithm" wrestles with existential questions. "When Greek Meets Greek" pits two con artists against each other, each believing they've found the perfect mark until their web of lies unravels. "Marriage of Convenience" examines a partnership built on mutual benefit rather than love, where ambition and secrets threaten a calculated arrangement. 
    Each story forces characters to confront uncomfortable truths: often, the greatest deceptions are those we tell ourselves. Through these intricate narratives, Anderson holds a mirror to contemporary society, reflecting our complicity in the very illusions we condemn. 
    Prepare to be deceived, astonished, and—most importantly—to question everything you believe you know..
