People Like That cover

People Like That comprises Agnes Owens’ complete life's work in short stories. Witty and dark, Owens’ spare prose shocks and delights. Her talent for pithy, unsettling tales is as sharp as ever, confirming her place as one of Scotland’s finest contemporary writers.

Published to celebrate Agnes Owens' centenary year in 2026.

'Agnes Owens is one of Scotland's finest writers, and it's to be hoped that a new readership is about to discover that for themselves'

* SNACK Magazine *

‘Agnes Owens was such a fine writer. Her best stories are great stories . . . she created an art that will endure
