Publisher's Synopsis
The primary aim of HISSAC has always been to encourage new writers, give them confidence in their work, and this anthology is the embodiment of that aim and a celebration of the short story in all its many forms. The stories come in all shapes and sizes, loosely grouped by theme, and embrace an extraordinary range of subject and style. A few are downright peculiar, but HISSAC has always liked peculiar, and they're no less accomplished for that. Whether you're a writer or a reader, these stories will both impress and inspire. It is a collection not to be missed.
