ARTICULATED SHORT STORY ANTHOLOGY FOR 2016

We at Tayen Lane Publishing are proud to present this multifaceted collection of short stories that includes emerging, established, and first-time authors, to esteemed readers everywhere (as every reader should, indeed, be esteemed!).

In this collection you will experience, first hand, how the ‘word travels’ of these authors have beautifully informed their writing and their stories. Its seventeen stories take you from a grunge bar in the ‘90s, to a land of magical trees, to the middle of the night ocean. And you will find that the protagonists are many—spanning a Bulgarian orchard worker, to a jaded-yet-still-earnest skateboarder, to an octogenarian about to get conned.

After you’ve read this anthology, your passport will be stamped with the postmodern, flash, humor, historical fiction, formal invention, blog-speak, and the magical. The common thread for these varied stories: they are all stories that are a pleasure to read. Enjoy your travels, as this collection of short stories represents the best of today’s fiction from experienced ‘word travelers!’
