Customer Reviews

Awesome!5
I adore this anthology! I've read over half of the stories. The print is easy to read and the font is a good size. Perfect for anyone's collection.

loved every story...5
I bought this for a college sophomore english class, but every one of the stories are pieces of fiction worthy to be read for mere pleasure. This is short story literature at its finest!

A must for short story writers and readers5
While at the end of the book, Beverly Lawn gives advise from a selection of one story, this is not a "How To" book in the usual sense. The stories themselves, by some of the greatest authors, do the teaching. Read like a writer and you will get a weath of education from this book. It's one to read over and over and points one to other works by the same authors worthy of reading as well.
