RED MAGAZINE
10 best books to read this July

Thank you Red Magazine for selecting A Short Affair for your pick of the 10 best books this July! Sarra Manning says:

‘As we’re deep into holiday season, I always think that a good short story collection is essential to dip in out and out of in between dipping in and out of the nearest expanse of water! And A Short Affair is one of the best anthologies of short stories you’ll find this year. Contributors include Elizabeth Day, Will Self and A.L.Kennedy among others but the stand out for me was A Quiet Tidy Man by Claire Fuller.’

‘I’ve loved judging the RA & Pin Drop Short Story Award. The talent was plentiful, fresh and exciting and Claire Fuller is a very deserving winner.

– Simon Oldfield

‘Claire Fuller’s brilliant story is such a worthy winner: both darkly comic and deeply moving, with a modern-gothic undertone that reminded me of Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected. It’s going to be a wonderful addition to the Pin Drop archive.’

– Elizabeth Day

The RA & Pin Drop Short Story Award 2016 is supported by Audible.
