Too long to be a short story; too short to be a novella

28 Mar

A new short story has been added:

The Fenchurch Reckonings (2009) has been rewritten from an experimental, cross-genre story.  It is exactly 5,000 words long, in five parts . . . so it offends most criteria of the short story.  But it is way too short to be a novella. And, what is more, it roams between realism, surrealism and fantasy so that it defies any commitment to genre. In fact it is a literary abomination. And it won first prize in 2014 British Fantasy Society Short Story Competition.

It is not yet available online
