A PERSONAL ANTHOLOGY
I was pleased to contribute to the excellent ‘A Personal Anthology’ series run by Jonathan Gibbs. The concept is simple – a writer chooses twelve pieces of favourite short fiction and explains why others should read them.
My list:
‘Black County’ – Joel Lane
‘The Stains’ – Robert Aickman
‘The White Cat’ – Joyce Carol Oates
‘The Husband Stitch’ – Carmen Maria Machado
‘Wide Acre’ – Nathan Ballingrud’
‘An Account of the Decline of the Great Auk According to One Who Saw It’ – Jessie Greengrass
‘The Horse of Iron and How We Can Know It (And Be Changed By It)’ – M John Harrison
‘Four Abstracts’ – Nina Allan
‘The Man Whom the Trees Loved’ – Algernon Blackwood
‘The Cheater’s Guide to Love’ – Junot Diaz
‘The Last Clean, Bright Summer’ – Livia Llewellyn
‘The Unwish’ – Claire Dean
