A number of these writers have published novels and collections of short stories. A high proportion of the stories we have published have by been by first-time published writers.

One story was selected for inclusion in Pushcart Prize XVIII: Best of the Small Presses and several stories over the years have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

REVIEWS:

“A remarkable number of memorable stories appear in this ... anthology ... by largely unknown authors ...This fine collection and the authors it introduces deserve attention.”
-Publishers Weekly

“The stories in the anthology run the gamut of themes and styles – and all are first rate examples of the contemporary short story, told with ... urgency and intentness.”
-Literary Magazine Review

“SIDE SHOW is a smashing collection. It has a range of strong voices and succeeds in the editors' hope by being neither preciously 'literary' nor crassly commercial.”
-Nick Webb, Managing Director of Simon & Schuster (Great Britain).
