Contains ‘Ghillie’s Mum’ – shortlisted for the 2019 BBC National Short Story Award, 2020 ALCS Tom-Gallon Trust Award and regional winner of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize for Europe and Canada.

From the award-winning short story author, Lynda Clark, comes this debut collection of sixteen stories, all written in Lynda’s darkly humorous style and playing on themes of multiple realities and dystopian futures.

In ‘My Invisible Wife’, a man is learning how to live with a gradually disappearing wife. In ‘Dreaming in Quantum’, there’s a murder to be solved with echoes through different dimensions only accessible in dreams. In ‘Ghillie’s Mum’, a shape-shifting mother needs to decide whether to compromise and stay in her human form or lose her son. And in ‘Blanks’, people are paying to create clones of themselves so they’ll never die.
