Eclipse: A Collection of Short Stories and Flash Fiction

by Tony Rea, Anne Thomson, John McKenna

Eclipse is an anthology of short fiction where strange things happen. Beginning with Anne’s eponymous short story and ending with Tony’s Men they Couldn’t Hang, this collection of fiction takes the reader from misty, tor-topped Dartmoor to the foaming, frothing, formidable seas below. From the dark depths of Cornish history and myth, as in John’s Jack Pendragon, to forecasts of the future.
Their stories entertain, surprise and startle at every twist.
