Publisher's Synopsis
Queen City Flash, a collection of short-short stories from 32 writers tied to Western New York, a region known for snow, the assassination of President McKinley, and the invention of the chicken wing. But Buffalo is largely forgotten as the first city lit by electricity or as the birthplace of the windshield wiper, the dedicated cancer laboratory, air conditioning, sponge candy, the electric chair, the pacemaker, the grain elevator, Cheerios, kazoos, Mentholatum, Keri lotion, and non-dairy whipped topping. A region with so many wonderful stories stitched into its skin couldn't help but produce so many storytellers with wonderfully divergent voices and styles. So relax. Reflect. Laugh. Gasp. Shiver. Sigh. Smile. Enjoy.
