I found this to be a very solid collection. Surprisingly, the best stories seem to come from unknown writers. There are three weird, engaging stories - Carol Sidney's 'Empty', Mark Rowe's 'Path' and Tanya Chan-Sam's 'The Bride', and three fantastically imagined stories - Lane Ashfeldt's 'Music for Cold Weather', Sharmilla Chauhan's 'Day 15' and Heather Imani's 'For Souhaite'; all by authors who are completely new to me. Romesh Gunesekera and Rachel Tresize's contributions are not their best, but Maggie Gee's 'Blue' is one of the best short stories I've read in a long time.

Last time I bought a Tell Tales book my favourite stories were by men. One of them was Rajeev Balasubramanyam's story and he's the editor of this collection, which is great too, but this time my favourite stories are by Maggie Gee (Blue) and a woman I'd never heard of before, but writes powerfully, Heather Imani - For Souhaite. I'm really looking forward to seeing the tour again this year...

This is a mediocre collection of stories, poorly (if at all?) edited by R. Balasubranayam. The book claims to be showcasing new talent but most of the names are the usual suspects. A nepotistic venture I suspect. A pity though, as a truly diverse and challenging collection of short stories by British writers would be interesting.
