false 6076590 1 Flash fiction is generally recognized as being fiction under a thousand words - the perfect length for a coffee break - but despite its appeal as a quick read, it is not simplistic. Quite the opposite; it can and should be one of the most demanding literary forms, with a need for perfectly crafted prose, a complete story arc in a tight space, and an immediately engaging hook. The Best of Every Day Fiction 2008 brings together one hundred flash fiction pieces selected from Every Day Fiction's first year of publication. These stories cross boundaries of genre and geography, with tastes of science fiction, humour, romance, fantasy, horror, and surrealism alongside the more traditional literary pieces, from authors writing in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Finland, India, Israel, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States. 6253173 28 11 2008 The Best of Every Day Fiction 2008 total:5|5:0|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:0| 5 21 6 0 5 0 false false Fri Sep 04 21:49:31 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 21:49:31 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Apr 19 16:27:16 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 16:27:16 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Mar 28 13:36:43 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 13:36:53 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 09 09:11:15 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 10:19:14 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 09:11:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 16 06:16:13 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 06:16:15 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jan 07 07:53:34 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 07:53:40 -0800 2009
