A collection of wonderful tales from first time writers with two or three of exceptional quality. Worth checking out.

Another of the short titles originally given away free with the early editions of the SFX magazine. This is an interesting mix of the top winner as well as articles on the author and judges. This is a fun read which reminds me that there is always new talent out there with new and creative ways of telling their stories - just some times you have to go looking for them
