Another story collection as CC-licensed download. It’s The Ant King and Other Stories, by Benjamin Rosenbaum (it’s been up a month or so, apparently, but I just came upon it now).
I haven’t read any of it yet, but he’s pretty good at snappy first sentences. “Sheila split open and the air was filled with gumballs.” “An orange ruled the world.” “I have bought the elephant a new green suit.” (It’s not all surreal slap-in-the-face, but those are the intros that stand out.)

Let me know what you think! :-)
Will do — I’ll try to write a review, once I’ve had time to have a proper look.
