It's "It's Hulloween", so that must mean only one thing... (OK, two things, but for the purposes of this entry, one.) It's the publication of Chris Fielden's annual "To Hull and Back" anthology! Now in its fifth year, "To Hull and Back" remains one of the only opportunities to reward, and specifically publish, comedy short fiction - certainly in the UK, if not the world. Once again, I was fortunate to be on the judging panel, where the standard (to coin a cliché), really does seem to increase year on year. Special front-cover congratulations this year goes to the overall winner, John Holland, with his poignantly funny story "Lips". The other nineteen shortlisted stories are well worth a read too... Take a look at Chris's page for the various links on Amazon, to buy as a paperbook book, Kindle file, or PDF. |
