Flash fiction collection from Irene Buckler.

"I've admired Irene Buckler's flash fiction stories ever since first reading her work in the Facebook site, The 52-Week Flash Fiction Challenge. Some people may think it's easy to write short/short fiction, but the shorter it is the harder you must strive to make it work. Irene's stories find interesting and satisfying ways to interpret human reactions; exposing vibrant characters' fragilities and strengths in narratives that ring with a sense of shared humanity. Then, in the expected twist endings for this genre, she creates unexpected and splendid ah-ha moments to surprise both protagonist and reader. Best of all, Irene's stories do what all good stories hope to do ... pack a punch, then linger in the mind after the reading is done."
