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.

24 haunting stories by the Open Short Story Competition winners and Earlyworks Press Club members. Artwork by Catherine Edmunds and Nick Richmond.

Routemasters and Mushrooms Published by Earlyworks Press ISBN 0-9553429-0-2

Earlyworks Press is off to a good start with their first anthology – an intriguing title, and some excellent and varied poems from such well-known names as Roger Elkin.

Phil Fox for instance, serves up a sensuous dish About Tarts whilst Duncan Fraser’s speciality is the wry humour of High Rising Terminal. More poignant notes are struck by Sally Richards in Institutional, Angela Rigby, describing Last Rites and Jane Moreton’s evocative Coach Journey: Half-Light.

– Carole Baldock, Editor of Orbis.

An interesting mix of very good poetry. The Routemaster might be decommissioned, but it’s proven an unexpected source of inspiration for just one poem in a compilation that ranges from the reassuringly familiar to the cosmic in scope. Not a single bland, run-of-the-mill poem in the mix.

– DJ Tyrer, Atlantean Publishing

Contributing authors will receive free copies on publication, and may order further copies at £3.00 + 50p towards p&p.
