New Welsh Short Stories cover

A stellar line-up of writing talent includes Stevie Davies, Trezza Azzopardi, Joe Dunthorne, Owen Sheers, Cynan Jones, Deborah Kay Davies and Rachel Trezise. Stories range from the personal to the universal; from the streets of south Wales to the wilder reaches of small town and countryside, from film sets to the limits of time and space.

The anthology is the first in a series. It is co-edited by Seren fiction editor Penny Thomas and Francesca Rhydderch, a previous editor of New Welsh Review, whose debut novel The Rice Paper Diaries won the Fiction Prize, Wales Book of the Year 2014.

New Welsh Short Stories is an excellent collection that shows the vibrancy of the current crop of Welsh literary talent. With short stories going through something of a golden period, Seren have compiled a selection that shows just how far the form can be taken. This anthology comes highly recommended for short story fans, as well as those keen to try something a bit different. - Bookstrust
