One of my favourite online authors is considering publishing a best-of. Anacrusis is a collection of short-short stories, 101 words per piece, more-or-less daily since mid-2003. It’s sometimes funny, sometimes inscrutable, sometimes interlinked, and pretty much consistently brilliant. In particular I recommend the Rita stories. (I’m proud to say the Mambo reference entirely escaped me on first reading.) The author, one Brendan Adkins, is considering self-publishing to get a bit of exposure, and wants to know how much demand he’s looking at. Try some (first time’s free…), get hooked , and tell him you’ll pay for a copy in your bookcase.
