The ImagiNation Project
The ImagiNation Project is a remarkable book. A world-class collection of eighteen imaginative short stories, handpicked from ten countries and six continents, spanning a diverse set of styles and genres, it is a vibrant journey of pure reading pleasure.
But it is more than just a good book. It is also a smart social venture with an underlying mission – to make things better with every sale that we make. We are donating 60% of our net sales proceeds, after costs and taxes, to three good causes.
The House Group, an inspirational children's home which provides a safe haven to abused, abandoned and destitute girls in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The WILDTRUST, an accomplished South African environmental NPO which protects, conserves and restores threatened ecosystems and species, on land and at sea.
The PDSA of South Africa, a heart-warming animal welfare charity which provides a veterinary service to animals from poor communities in Cape Town, George and Soweto, South Africa.
We love good books and have scoured the globe for the most imaginative fiction out there. Our stories are beautiful, clever, sad, funny, mysterious and bitter-sweet, each one superb in a different way, a world-class collection of outstanding fiction.
Our writers come from ten countries and six continents – Argentina, Australia, England, India, Jamaica, New Zealand, Nigeria, Scotland, South Africa, Trinidad & Tobago and the USA.
The ImagiNation Project – a great book doing great things – happy reading!

Three of the stories in this book are mine so I am reviewing the other fifteen... That said, I really did enjoy them all - clever, imaginative and unique. A mixed bag of styles and genres, very nicely done. My favorites were A Tiny Feast (clever), Lorry Raja (haunting) and Other People (my favorite Neil Gaiman story ever). Even though I have a dog in the race here, I think it's a great book and am rating it objectively.
