Book excerpt: 'There is no more carefully chosen yet eclectic anthology series in existence in Britain today' - Susan Haigh, The Short Review Best British Short Stories invites you to judge a book by its cover - or more accurately, by its title. This new series aims to reprint the best short stories published in the previous calendar year by British writers, whether based in the UK or elsewhere. The editor's brief is wide ranging, covering anthologies, collections, magazines, newspapers and web sites, looking for the best of the bunch to reprint all in one volume. Featuring: Elizabeth Baines, David Constantine, Ailsa Cox, Claire Dean, Stuart Evers, Jonathan Gibbs, Jay Griffiths, David Grubb, M John Harrison, Vicki Jarrett, Richard Knight, Philip Langeskov, Sian Melangell Dafydd, Anna Metcalfe, Louise Palfreyman, Christopher Priest, Joanne Rush, Mick Scully, Joanna Walsh and Adam Wilmington. Praise for Best British Short Stories 'Another effective and well-rounded short story anthology from Salt - keep up the good work, we say!' - Sarah-Clare Conlon, Bookmunch 'This annual feast satisfies again. Time and again, in Royle's crafty editorial hands, closely observed normality yields (as Nikesh Shukla's spear-fisher grasps) to the things we "cannot control."' - Boyd Tonkin, The Independent 'Highly recommended' - Kate Saunders, The Times
