Synopsis

'heartily recommended, and a really, really good book for dipping randomly into, as well as of excellent quality all round.' – Mab Jones, Buzz
'A big box of marvels, abuzz with distinctive voices and vivid tales. This is dazzling testament to the ability of Creative Writing groups to energise and inspire.' – Alan Bilton
'Down-to-earth at one moment, the next fantastical, humorous or heartfelt, nostalgic or raw, and yet hospitable, grounded in locality but with connections open to the wide world' – Philip Gross
Some collections serve to mark particular events or milestones, whilst others contain work of the highest quality. This collection manages both of these things, with 75 pieces of poetry, creative non-fiction, and short fiction by local writers celebrating 75 years of creative writing in this fabulous city of the arts.
Cardiff Writers' Circle was formed in 1947 and is joined here by other local writing groups, all lending their imaginations to a wide variety of styles, genres, and formats. Poignant, playful, satirical, and acutely observed, this anthology is a showcase for the fantastic talent that exists today in Cardiff, city of the dragon.
Disponible depuis: 27/03/2023.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume we explore and enjoy the stories of authors who attended one of the great seats of learning.  Amongst their storied number are M R James, Hugh Walpole, William Makepeace Thackeray and a host of others.

    In this volume ‘Weird’ is exactly what these stories are.  Although usually listed by its own library filing these stories, all written by women, may be weird by nature but definitely mainstream by reach.
