Short stories show us the world at an angle, through their own tilted lens letting us slip in and out of new worlds with a lighter touch than traditional novels. They may seem simple but demand incredible skill and focus. We explore this exciting genre through the eyes and imaginations of Adam Thompson, Elizabeth Tan and Barry Divola.
