As part of our celebrations of the centenary of some British Women getting the vote,
five stories each from five women writers:

Modern angst and acid wit from Joan Taylor-Rowan’s characters making new lives ‘Down From London’, or as stowaways in a central London Department store.
A future where hygiene is everything, an historical murder, a spectacularly disturbing bedtime story and an illicit meeting from Katy Darby.
Unforgiving reality tempered with warmth in Guatamala in Cassandra Passarelli’s stories of overweight truckers, pregnant teenagers, pilgrimages, stolen children and stolen toys.
Elegant twists and poetic restraint in Sarah James’ flash fiction,
and the wide-ranging emotional rollercoasters of Helen Morris’ trolls outwitted, drunken boat trips, world domination and the heart ripped out of a family.

Each of these writers has featured in Arachne Press anthologies, variously: London Lies, Liberty Tales, Stations, Shortest Day Longest Night, and Solstice Shorts We liked their work so much we asked them to send more. This is the result.
