Short Story Appreciation Society

Oooh, short story feast for me today. Read the Guardian's Summer Short Story Special. Enjoyed Jennifer Egan's and David Mitchell's most, and Teresa Stenson's 'Things Which Are Not True' from the competition entries, not surprised to learn she is a fellow big fan of Ali Smith, also tinges of Jenn Ashworth's A Kind of Intimacy present. Read Teresa's blog where there are links to more of her short stories.
