Summary

'The loneliness and longing of the characters in Deliverywoman really stayed with me, I found these stories haunting and beautifully constructed.'
– Daisy Johnson, author of The Hotel
'Eva Wyles has a knack for skewering life in all its messy glory and she does so with an unwavering eye. Visceral and deeply sexy, these stories wriggle under your skin and tug at you long after reading.'
– Orlaine McDonald, author of No Small Thing
Deliverywoman is the stunning debut collection from Eva Wyles – thirteen short stories that dive into the complexities of human connection, the pursuit of meaning, and modern-day loneliness.
Across a diverse cast of characters – from teachers and gas station workers to hedonistic revellers and wealthy gamers – Wyles explores the strange dimensions of our world and the dangers of ordinary life, with needle-sharp writing both real and surreal.
Deliverywoman sits alongside A.M.Homes' The Safety of Objects and Ottessa Moshfegh's Homesick for Another World, announcing the arrival of a powerful new voice in contemporary fiction.
Available since: 04/17/2025.

    This collection of 21 short stories was gathered from all of my present works and some that were never published before, and in fact just recently completed. 
    There are some science fiction stories in there, some ironic, others mysterious and yet others just plain silly. I'll let you decide which is which. 
    I hope that you find it a quick and enjoyable read. Thank You for choosing this book to read.

    Unearth the Unimaginable… 
    In the shadows of ordinary lives, where reality blurs with the inexplicable, lies a collection of stories that will chill your bones and ignite your imagination. 
    Enter a world where a mirror refuses to reflect, where shadows come to life, where dreams turn into nightmares, and where prophecies whispered in the dead of night may seal your fate. From the haunting melody of a cursed music box to the twisted allure of a diabolical toyshop, each tale is a dark and thrilling journey into the unknown. 
    Dare to explore the twisted corridors of "The Hospice," where a dying patient's prophecy sends shivers down a young nurse's spine. Feast upon the unimaginable at Club Numinous, where culinary delights hide a terrifying secret. Discover the terror of "Crybaby Bridge," where a haunting legend becomes all too real. These tales and more await you within the pages of this anthology, penned with a touch of madness and a love for the macabre. Every story is a doorway, and behind each lies a realm of fear, mystery, and dark fascination. 
    Do you dare to cross the threshold?

    Russian Short Story The - Volume...

    The Russian novel has a reputation that is immense, both in narrative and in length.  Unquestionably though the ideas, themes and characters make many novels rightly revered as world class, as icons of literature. 
     
    Perhaps an easier way to enjoy a wider selection of the Russian heritage, with its varied and glorious literary talents, is with the short story.  These gems sparkle and beguile the mind with their characters and narrative, exploring facets of society and the human condition that more Western authors somehow find more difficult to navigate, or to explore, explain and relate to.   
     
    The Russian short story is, in many respects, in a genre of its own.  It is at its captivating best whether it’s an exploration of real-life experiences, through fantasy and fables and on to total absurdity. 
     
    In a land so vast it is unsurprising that it is a world almost unto itself. Cultures and landscapes of differing hues are packed together bound only by the wilful bonds and force of Empire. 
     
    The stories in this collection traverse the decades where one might be a serf under an absolute monarch, and the reality of that was pretty near to slavery, into an emancipation of sorts in the fields, or towns under the despotic will of landowners and the rich into the upheavals of Empire and then the overthrow of the ruling class and its replacement by the communists, who promised equality for all and delivered a society where the down-trodden remained the lowest yet vital cog of the state machine and its will.  
     
    Whilst Tolstoy, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Pushkin and Chekhov are a given in any Russian collection we also explore and include Andreyev, Korolenko, Turgenev, Blavatsky and many others to create a world rich and dense across a sprawling landscape of diverse people, riddled with the class and unfairness in perhaps some of the most turbulent times that Russia has ever experienced.
