Shorts, Volume One

In these eleven stories—collected from the first year of Platypus Press’ Shorts digital fiction series—we meet a jaded group of teenagers as they gather by the river to avoid their strained home lives, a servant haunted by his kindly master in the stifling summer heat, and a lost daughter still searching for her mother. Travel through time: over mountains, across islands, to a dystopian near-future, to the places where families and memories are scattered like dreams.

Featuring stories from: Beth Hahn, Jae Kim, Leesa Cross-Smith, Kristen Arnett, Nur Nasreen Ibrahim, Hala Alyan, Jennifer Tseng, Jimin Han, Shuly Xóchitl Cawood, Sarah Thankam Mathews, and Jenny Wu.
