This short story takes many forms and colours and its stamp is clearly visible in this special anthology which commemorates the contemporary Ultach short story.
Very enjoyable stories have been gathered here from 28 writers, both young and old, from all over Ulster.
A master class in the different forms of the short story that can be found between the covers of this publication.
There are love stories, stories of revenge and stories of hope here, there are other stories in which humour and sadness are at the forefront, some of the stories are firmly rooted in the tradition of the oral recipe and others with the formulas and forms of new literature.
Regardless of where the reader dives into this book, there will be something meaningful to arouse interest and build distance.
