Allison Symes has long loved what can be done with flash fiction in terms of genre and even how it is presented. Here, you will find flash tales covering a wide range of genres. Some are written in acrostic format, some are linked flashes where a character will turn up in two or more tales revealing more about themselves as the stories go on, and many will make you laugh. Others will make you shudder. Justice is served in some of the tales too, though whether it is to the characters’ liking is another matter. Flash fiction is perfect for any mood or genre. Oh and a Canada Goose comes into the book too.
Allison Symes, author of Seeing The Other Side, Tripping The Flash Fantastic and From Light to Dark and Back Again is passionate about flash fiction and hopes her latest collection introduces more to the joy and fun of the form.

Allison at her best. (She has written two earlier books of flash, by the way.)
All the stories were short and some very short, just a few lines. There were lots of fairy-godmothers, dragons, genies in lamps, and lots of collie dogs also. Allison also deployed her interest in King Richard III and the Tudors in several of her stories.
A very enjoyable read. Allison is mistress of her flash craft.
