Rattle of Want ranges from brilliant brief experiments (such as Abbreviated Glossary and Appendages) to a novella-in-flash (The Old Road) for the canon in that new genre. Altogether these stories mine the wants and desires in the breakups of families, rebellions of youth, and occasional ascents of the spirit. Often they beautifully, and simply, nail a place, as in Small Town (a perfect evocation of the title), report an impending explosion, as in Kindling (a quintessential flash), or capture a character (if you haven't met Blusterfuck ... do so at your own peril). Few writers can do all that Gay Degani does. ~ Robert Shapard, editor of Flash Fiction International: Very Short Stories from Around the World

"Wild offers exceptional fiction and reportage, with a coast-dweller's sharp eye for maritime detail, and a humane regard for both the victims and the survivors of shipwrecks, both literal and metaphorical. From 'Prospects', a marvellous, moving reconstruction of the murderous maiden voyage of the Tayleur, to 'Luck is in the Leftovers', a gripping saga of living on the edge of the land, where life and death ebb and flow like the tides. Gill Hoffs' writing, fiction and non, swells with the power of life, sometimes life at the expense of other lives, but always animated and alive. This is visceral and vital prose, smooth as a sea-worn pebble yet sharp as sharks' teeth." - Ronnie Scott, author of Death by Design and editor of 'Tommy's War', 'Tommy's Peace' and 'The Real 'Dads' Army''

He seamlessly weaves a crazy-quilt of characters who - despite being a little lost and befuddled by the world - have moments of chandelier insight into their own human hearts. Reminiscent of Raymond Carver's Little Things and Kim Chinquee's Oh Baby, Glass Animals is a work of sparkling vision and compressed and surprising language - all put to work to reveal a world where everything's at stake. Lori Jakiela, author of 'Miss New York Has Everything' Ramey takes on the richness of his characters' emotional and physical torment and delivers something morbidly fascinating and keen. Kristine Ong Muslim, author of 'We Bury the Landscape' Stephen V. Ramey captivates and mesmerizes his readers, taking us by the hand into the hidden worlds of people not unknown to us. His instincts are visceral, perceived, radiating a power and compassion that guides us inside each of his characters. Ramey's collection explores the human condition. Ramey is the real thing. Meg Tuite, author of 'Domestic Apparition'

32 stories about bars and alcohol and pick-ups and brawls and loners and losers and drinkers and gadabouts and socialites and hustlers and bartenders and late nights and early mornings

Hilarious, irreverent, twisted, bawdy, brilliant - these short shorts by Nancy Stohlman feel like a series of off-kilter encounters with the strangest characters you swear you've met before in a previous, more interesting lifetime. With sly humor and daring, Stohlman weaves tiny tales reminiscent of Etgar Keret, but with her own inimitable stamp. The Vixen Scream and other Bible Stories is an amazing collection. Do not deny yourself the pleasure of reading it. - Kathy Fish, author of 'Together We Can Bury It' The Vixen Scream is a collection of compelling and strikingly original stories - an imagination functioning at full throttle. Nancy Stohlman is a word-alchemist, and here is her book of wonders! - Robert Scotellaro, author of 'Measuring the Distance'
