As in previous years, the NFFD anthology is like a party you desperately hope to be invited to. Flash fiction writers from around the globe offer stories interpreting the theme of doors in a variety of ways. Some are literal, others metaphorical. Some have the door is the main character.
There are some stunning stories in this collection. Highlights include pieces by Ingrid Jendrzejewski and Lynn Mundell.
