"Anthology of stories previously appearing on CafeLit website, voted for by CafeLit contributors. All written to a professional standard, with well-developed story arcs and a clear thread, even those stories of only a few hundred words. Many (but not all) pieces have a leaning towards the paranormal, like 'No Laughing Matter', a story about a vampire with dental problems, by Paula Readman.
Two stories stood out from the rest. 'Unspoken, Unheard' by Hannah Retallick was written in a jocular, almost humorous, style but with a pervasive message about rude treatment of waiters/waitresses. Debz Hobbs-Wyatt broke our hearts in 'Looking for Graceland', concerning an elderly mother with dementia and fantasising about Elvis.
An ideal Christmas present for a relative who reads!"  

Stories with a common touch, if a bit quirky, presented in a very well designed and professional annual collection. Cover grabs attention, type is perfectly sized and easy to read, competes well with Kindle--the intent to provide easy and interesting reading in a cafe, hence CafeLit. It suits its purpose--if you spill coffee on a Kindle it might end up in your lap or your laptop. Coffee stains on a printed page are a badge well worn. A very good concept which can only get better.
