  Is this the type of confetti made from lots of tiny dead flowers? 
  Yes. Seems to be. It’s quite popular nowadays I think, as a sustainable alternative— 
  Pretty morbid to throw dead flowers over our friends. 
   
  Meet the Unreliable Nature Writer: a macabre product of late capitalism, climate anxiety and personal loss. Finding herself alone at a wedding, tailed by an unctuous and infatuated fellow guest, she proceeds to have her fun – plunging us into a potpourri of disturbing, darkly funny visions of a near future. Aloof, evasive and sardonic, she will be our guide; her stories will bare truths about how the world we’re changing so violently might affect us in turn… 
   
  In suburbia, a woman – a beloved wife and mother – begins a sordid affair with the humanoid robot her husband has brought home. 
   
  In a grand mansion, a woman recounts a dream of social stability and home ownership to a bizarre tribunal that will determine her future. 
   
  At a campsite, ordinary families swarm to pass their sweltering summer holiday – while just off the coast, the rich and powerful enjoy a very different kind of holiday from static cruise ships.

  How do you mark a quarter century? While parties are great—and we'll have those—I wanted to distill the time in a tangible way. To hold it in my hands, and share with you, dear listeners, in celebration and appreciation. 
   
   
   
  But how? 
   
   
   
  A collection! I dove into my published short fiction. Some I included because they were challenging to write. Several show my growth as a writer. I love them all. There's science fiction, fantasy, and, yes, horror. Plus an all-new story from Night's Edge. 
   
   
   
  If you know me only from my novels, welcome to the darker, deeper corners of my imagination.

  Thomas Hardy – The Short Stories - An Introduction.  Many giants of Literature originate from the shores of these emerald isles; Shakespeare, Dickens, Chaucer, The Brontes and Austen to which most people would willingly add the name Thomas Hardy. Far From The Madding Crowd, Tess Of The D’Urbervilles, The Mayor Of Casterbridge are but three of his literary masterpieces. But let us add to this his short stories.  They are often overlooked as being the poor, under-developed relative of a greater work.   But from writers of the calibre of Hardy this is just not so.  He picks stories and creates characters that drive, meld and create pages that in their numerically shorter length are in fact the perfect length.  Our stories are read for you by Richard Mitchley

  Seven HP Lovecraft Stories

  H.P. Lovecraft

  Howard Phillips Lovecraft, better known as H.P. Lovecraft, was an American author of horror, fantasy, poetry and science fiction, especially the subgenre known as weird fiction and many feel he is the acknowledged master of creepy, weird and unsettling stories. 
  These are seven stories by Lovecraft that literally span his career; some being written when he was barely a teenager and one (The Shunned House) only published after he had died. Most were published in Weird Tales before 1922. 
  Each story is unique and strange in it's own way but all of them come from the same mind that gave us the Cult of Cthulhu and other wonderful tales that generations now have enjoyed for their strangeness that resonates with our own inner fears. Some of these stories explore the depths of the human mind others the depths of human degradation and creepiness. I won't ruin the suspense by telling you which is which. Enjoy.
