Reviews
"(on previous work) It's so good that it's hard to believe that there was no equivalent during the 17 years since Giles Gordon and David Hughes's Best English Short Stories ceased publication in 1994. The first selection makes a very good beginning … Highly Recommended."
The Times
"(on previous work) Let's hope this series becomes an annual fixture."
The Guardian
"(on previous work) Another effective and well-rounded short story anthology from Salt - keep up the good work, we say!"
