Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read these 31 very short stories written for Flash Fiction Month 2018. Some follow the adventures of spies and secret agents, more of them don't, and most are very, very silly. This book will not self-destruct, but wouldn't it be cool if it did? KABOOM! POW!

About the author
Damon L. Wakes
28 books31 followersDamon L. Wakes was born in 1991 and began to write a few years later. He holds an MA in Creative and Critical Writing from the University of Winchester, and a BA in English Literature from the University of Reading.
Every year since 2012, Damon has produced one work of flash fiction each and every day during the month of July. He usually writes humour and horror, occasionally at the same time. Tackling so many stories with such a short word count has given him a knack for well structured narratives formed of tight prose.
When he isn't writing, Damon enjoys weaving chainmail. He began making chainmail armour ten years or so ago, but quickly discovered that there was no longer much of a market for it and so switched to jewellery instead. He produces items made of modern metals such as aluminium, niobium and titanium, but constructed using thousand year-old techniques.
Damon's other interests are diverse. He has at various times taken up archery, fencing and kayaking, ostensibly as research for books but mostly because it's something to do.

This really hit the spot. The humour was great, the odd dip into chiller territory gripped, and even the fantasy was engaging. Particular shout out to Barry the meat wizard and another hilarious adventure with the Ultraviolent Unicorns. Lovely stuff.
