‘55 A Day’ is a repository for 55-word-long stories. Length mandatory, content wide open. Nanofiction like this is a fun excuse to get yourself writing, an exercise in minimalism, and a way to find what’s most important in your story. With 405 and counting, there’s plenty to read, and at 55 words long each, there are plenty of stories . . .

Welcome to the world of master fabulist Edward Morris, where History has been pulled down a Hieronymus Bosch rabbit-hole and everything makes far too much sense. In Morris’s alternate history tour de force, on an East Coast two centuries after Armageddon, a rogue soldier throws himself back in Time to wreak havoc upon History and feed on the blood in . . .

Adam’s subject matter tends towards the surreal or at least the very least weird. His writing has been described in the press as a ‘Chandler-esque hard-boiled cocktail, stirred with equal parts humour, mystery, gut-wrenching realism, and trademark minimalism’, ‘weird, wonderful, twisted and witty’ and even ‘almost Fawlty Towers’ which is, unsurprisingly, one of his favourites. His first book, a collection . . .

Out of loneliness, or boredom, maybe, you assign a URL to your heart and share it on the forums and social networks you frequent. The hits trickle in at first, the unusually curious trampling through, poking and prodding, unsure of what they’re seeing. But then the links spread. Everybody wants to see your heart, to have a role in pulling . . .

‘The Great Game’ is a work of interactive fiction, a particpatory story where you’re in charge of what happens next. I write a bit. You tell me what happens next, then I go off and write that, and give you your next choice. I’ll let the narrator sum up the story : “I woke up in a deserted . . .

All over the world, Knights are appearing. They have swords. They ride horses. They wear shining armour. They’re causing trouble. Nobody knows where they came from or why they’re here—even the Knights themselves are pretty vague on the matter. However, they’re not about to let that get in the way of their crusading. They have a Law to uphold. . . .

Ever since I can remember, fortune cookies have told me that I’m going to die. They never get too specific. Just the basics: ‘Your Lucky Numbers Are 3, 12, and 57. You Are Going to Die.’ Or: ‘Try the Spicy Pork Rolls! And Then Prepare to Die.’ It used to freak me out, but I’ve gotten used to it. . . .

Two secret agents. One fedora-wearing sidekick. A spectre. A fat but wise and creepily all-knowing chipmunk. Candy Land. These are just a few of the unpleasant delights awaiting you . . . .

When I was young(er than I am now) I found myself a fan of the cartoons "Tiny Toons" and "The Animaniacs." They would constantly riff on popular movies, like "Star Wars," "Indiana Jones," and even "Apocalypse Now" while doing inane jokes and insane pranks. As I got old(er than I was then) I still watched with my younger siblings, and [more . . .]
