Publisher's Synopsis
Beguiled by a Wild Thing contains 167 flash fictions from 142 writers from across the world. These short short stories, each no longer than 360 words, were longlisted for the four rounds of the Reflex flash fiction competition held in 2020. Within these pages, the traditional narrative shares space with the experimental. Humour sits alongside tragedy. Each of these page-long stories packs a punch greater than its word count suggests. Beguiled by a Wild Thing is the perfect introduction to readers new to flash fiction and essential reading for those already familiar with the form.
