If you are new to Flash Fiction then KM Elkes collection is a perfect introduction to this delicious short form. His writing delivers an emotional punch through every story. There is pathos, poignancy and lots of humour in these stories. Interestingly, some of the characters are difficult to like: complex and multi-layered, often with disturbing traits and yet you still want to read about them. Therein lies Elkes' talent as a storyteller and weaver of tiny worlds. I relished and enjoyed every story in this collection. It is one to keep and re-read.
