Beyond the Greyscale

Extracts & Reviews

First solo collection from popular Hastings character 

Terry Sorby

If you don’t know what it’s like to grow old, read this book and find out. If you do, read this book and yell, “YEAH!”

If you don’t know what it’s like to work with the disadvantaged, the abused and the lost, to take on the pain and the despair of the many and come up smiling, then try the extraordinary, bubbling pot of grief, giggles and philosophy this collection hurls at the reader.

In this collection, ideas about how we relate to animals, to landscape and to each other, and some wonderfully observed portraits of the natural world, are set against the sometimes extraordinary efforts of human beings to live within the complex, technological world we have made for ourselves.

New  Title

The Road Unravelled

Extracts & Reviews

Birth and death, genetics, evolution and intelligence - natural, artificial and divine: With each new announcement from the world of science shattering more of our traditional assumptions, we asked our writers to look into the future and answer the eternal question of science fiction:

What if...?

Their answers tell us that far out in the starfields or here on earth, creatures human and otherwise face life-changing dilemmas - souls and systems, organic and inorganic, must lay aside everything we thought we knew and take an unmapped way forward..

Rogue Symphonies

Extracts & Reviews

An attempted coup d’état fails, but the day of strife is a defining one for a pair of young lovers. In another country a film-maker stoically guards his reels as one revolution follows another. In quieter climes, a butcher faces his violent past, an author battles with an extremely lively book and a new bakery is watched over by a sapient yeast culture: And that’s just five of the twenty tales in this international, multi-genre collection: Lovers, loners and runners forever lead the action, whether their personal stories are played out in 1st World War Britain or the 21st century Middle East.

with islands in mind

Extracts & Reviews

34 stories by the authors short listed in the second Earlyworks Press Short Story Competition.  The problems of life and death are shared by all, from the embryonic life which might never reach birth to the planet itself. Why do we have islands in mind? When Nemesis approaches should we think on a planetary scale or look inside ourselves for an answer? Some of these stories look to the future, others turn back to question the demons that have dogged humanity from the dawn of time. Some characters draw together to solve their problems, others become isolated, cut off like islands in a storm.

Survival Guides

Extracts & Reviews

This book may not be of much use if you find yourself clinging to debris in mid-Atlantic but if your experience of family, work, love and loss makes you feel as if you are adrift in a storm, consider the characters in these unique and thought-provoking stories – the solutions they find include dieting, murder, a little light creative writing, and disappearing through the hole in a guitar.
