Summary

Thanksgiving Stories is a vivid anthology that captures the spirit of gratitude and togetherness, woven through an eclectic mix of literary styles and narratives. From heartwarming tales of familial bonds to reflective stories on the meaning of giving thanks, this collection gathers gems of literature spanning the sentimental, the whimsical, and the philosophical. The anthology's remarkable depth is reflected in standout pieces that echo with timeless resonance, painting a canvas of human emotion and shared experience. The anthology unites a wealth of literary voices, including luminaries like Harriet Beecher Stowe and Louisa May Alcott, alongside lesser-known yet equally compelling writers. Anchored in the context of the 19th and early 20th-century literary landscapes, these authors offer profound insights into the cultural and social dynamics of their times. Their narratives are linked by the common thread of Thanksgiving, enriching readers' understanding of the holiday as both a historical and a culturally significant event. Thanksgiving Stories is an essential read for those eager to explore a tapestry of perspectives through the voices of diverse authors. This collection invites readers to indulge in an array of styles and themes that offer not just escapism, but a robust reflection on gratitude itself. Ideal for both academic and casual exploration, the anthology promises a rewarding journey of discovery, echoing long after the last page is turned.

    Praise for Stars Are Silver and other short stories: 
    Hartley’s stories are a tonic: full of delightful, down-to-earth characters and recognisable life dilemmas, as well as unexpected twists. Above all, each story reminds us that simple human goodness can still be found and shared. —Sandy Salisbury, author of Prairie Gold 
    Super, observant writing. [Tanino and Melina] really should have their own sit-com.— Alan Spink, Editor of The People’s Friend Magazine, on the Tanino and Melina stories 
    Hartley doesn’t just give us stories, she gives us a slice of Italian life served with lashings of charm and wit. Highly recommended! — Ella Hayes, author of Italian Summer with the Single Dad

    Life in Singapore is good, sometimes even — dare we say it? — absurd. In Singapore Siu Dai, Felix Cheong, with a little help from illustrator PMan, finds humour in the everyday. From our kiasu behaviour to weird geographical boundaries called GRCs and OB markers, no quirk is left unturned. 
     
    These 50 short stories, praised by Singapore’s top humorists for their brew of wit and snappy storytelling, will raise the so-called SG Conversation to a new, satirical pitch. So laugh along as we look forward to Singapore’s 50th birthday! 
     
    “Read Felix’s twisted but funny stories about life, love, school, men, women, stupidity and some more subjects as well. These stories are fresh material. Instead of thinking that life is great and spend time yanking a nose hair, you should sit back, relax and enjoy Singapore Siu Dai.”

    From the acclaimed author of Godshot and "a pitch-perfect ventriloquist of extraordinary talent and ferocity" (T Kira Madden) comes a defining book of Californian stories where everyone is seeking or sabotaging love. 
     
     
     
    United by the stark and sprawling landscapes of California's Central Valley, the characters of Heartbroke boil with reckless desire. A woman steals a baby from a shelter in an attempt to recoup her own lost motherhood. A phone-sex operator sees divine opportunity when a lavender-eyed cowboy walks into her life. A mother and a son selling dream catchers along a highway that leads to a toxic beach manifest two young documentary filmmakers into their realm. And two teenage girls play a dangerous online game with destiny. 
     
     
      
    Heartbroke brims over with each character's attempt to salvage grace where they can find it. Told in bright, snapping prose that reveals a world of loss and love underneath, Chelsea Bieker brilliantly illuminates a golden yet gothic world of longing and abandonment under an unrelenting California sun.

    A collection of thirty short stories that move along the edges of the existential and the social, the tender and the ironic. Set against the backdrop of Greece, and drawing deeply from its unique spirit and contradictions, each story reveals a subtle fracture in the surface of daily life, where a person confronts themselves, the systems that enclose them, and the illusions they invent just to endure. 
    These are finely tuned explorations of the human psyche—part microscope, part mirror—unveiling the quiet absurdities we all share. In this space, reason withdraws, cynicism smirks, and mistakes are no longer silent; they speak, take on form, and, inevitably, a face.

    As a child being read to was one of the greatest joys imaginable.  A loved one would start a tale whilst you were all cosy warm in bed with the lights nodding off.  Anything could happen but sleep would come and dreams would start and all was good with the world.  Adults too long for reassurance, for comfort, for calm.  Sometimes they may get that.  But with classic authors such as Oscar Wilde, O Henry, Saki, Rabindranath Tagore and many others they may not.  Expect the unexpected.
