Flash

What follows is a promise and a warning - flash fiction proves that less is sometimes more. It's no coincidence that the very short stories called flash fiction are popular with those who grab a little reading time on their e-readers or cell phones. Think of it as a specialized form of the short story, a complete story with such a low word count that a reader can finish it in one sitting. Enjoy over thirty compelling flash fiction stories. For example, "Bleed to Love Her" focuses on life in a hippie commune. "Bull-headed" features a nineteenth century father-son drama on a farm near Shelbyville. In "Yellow Light," a close escape gives readers chills. "Whitehaven" is the story of a haunted mansion in Paducah. The "Magician of the Mountains" tells the story of a woman who meets a mysterious stranger. Savor this contemporary anthology from individuals touched by the rolling hills and quirky characters of Kentucky.
