Solstice: Milton Workshop Anthology Series
Devil's Party Press presents a selection of short stories inspired by the winter solstice. Within the pages are heartfelt tales of yesteryear, as well as stories of love and triumph. Let's not forget, however, that winter can be harsh. You'll find more than just warm and fuzzy here.
David Dutton provides this issue's preface as well as two short stories. Dianne Pearce's "Blackberry Winter" shows us that sometimes it takes a cold spell to make life sweet. In "A Cough at the College of the Pacific," David Yurkovich's presents a short mystery tale inspired by a 1953 Dave Brubeck concert. Carrie Sz Keane rounds out the anthology with a unique and brutally honest Christmas letter you won't want to miss. In total, you'll find nine original short stories, a collection of poetry, and Keane's holiday missive.
