This new collection of twelve humorous short Christmas stories follows a cast of entertaining characters as they prepare for the festive season, from a small boy trying to teach Santa time management to the elderly lady celebrating what's likely to be her last Christmas Day. Unlike many Christmas-themed books, "Stocking Fillers" does not sugar-coat the festive experience, and not all of the characters are lovable. But ultimately it's a heartwarming celebration of all things festive. Whether you choose to spread out the stories across the traditional 12 Days of Christmas, or to consume them all in one sitting, once you've read "Stocking Fillers," you'll never view Christmas in quite the same way again! By the author of the acclaimed flash fiction collection "Quick Change," of which National Flash Fiction Day founder Calum Kerr said: "A book of tiny gems. Debbie Young's attention to detail brings the extraordinary out of the everyday." Author Marius Gabriel describes her short fiction as "Very subtle, very English, very clever," and historical novelist Lucienne Boyce adds: "Debbie Young's short stories make domesticity look edgy, sometimes dangerous, but they are also life-affirming."Also available as an ebook.
Flash fiction, sudden fiction, micro-fiction, ultra short fiction - call them what you will, these twenty wry and witty short stories examine change at every stage of life, in a natural progression from birth to death. Mostly lighthearted, but often moving too, this collection is written with an admirable economy of style. Ranging from a spartan 100 words to the relative luxury of 1,000, they combine sharp observation of contemporary English life with gentle humor, profound affection for the social quirks of the author's native country, and the odd dark rumbling undertone. Plenty of surprises emerge along the way, from twists of magical realism to whimsical wish-fulfillment. BONUS MATERIAL: The paperback edition contains two new stories that were not in the original e-book edition, but were originally published in national flash fiction anthologies.
