Threads Rewoven
An eclectic collection of prose and poetry which offers a brief escape into a variety of worlds and characters, Threads Rewoven is the ideal coffee-break companion.
Sparked by a series of writing prompts, the threads of inspiration became short stories and poetry. Gathered together in this omnibus, Threads Rewoven features the complete collection of their prompted musings.
With tales ranging from post-apocalyptic science-fiction to childhood fantasy, from macabre tales of death and loneliness to the pure love of a child; Threads Rewoven presents the best from an adventure into flash fiction for three British authors.

I love flash fiction! I am constantly reading through super-quick stories on Reddit, Twitter and various blogs around the internet so this book was perfect for me.
A collection of three emerging authors’ work stemming from writing prompts, this is a well-written and interesting collection. I much preferred the stories to the poetry (but that’s just how I am generally), and my favourite stories were the ones that delivered a big twist at the end. Great stuff!

I received an ARC of Threads Rewoven in exchange for an honest review.
I very much enjoyed this eclectic collection of flash fiction and poetry by three very different but talented writers. In this Omnibus Edition, they have achieved a good balance of serious and tongue-in-cheek, poetic and yet gripping writing, all delivered in bite-sized chunks that are perfect to read when you don’t have a lot of time. I often find myself wanting to read right before bedtime, but reluctant to pick up a novel with long chapters. This collection offered the perfect opportunity for a quick escape, as none of the short stories are longer than a few pages. All the pieces included were both thoughtful and thought-provoking, and while some were a little dark for my taste, I would definitely read work by all three authors again.

Threads Rewoven is a nostalgic blend of short stories that take you by surprise, and deep poetry that lingers with you long after reading. The eclectic mix of short stories are perfect to dip in and out of with a coffee perhaps. Science and fantasy is plotted next to real life - taking you into the minds and lives of ordinary people who fascinate and bewilder. The flash fiction and short story genres have been lost to commercial storytelling, but these three authors remind you of what gems there are in such a short amount of words. It's difficult building a scene, a life, a mood in less than 1,000 words, but amazingly they can. And I enjoyed them all.

I received an advance copy of this collection and I voluntarily write an honest review.
Fantastic array of “musings” on life, “what-if” and miscellaneous horror themes! I loved the variety of offerings and was delighted with the step from one to another. Prose and poetry flow beautifully together.
