Summary of this Book...
Is the frantic pace of American culture responsible for diminished attention spans and the desire for a quick fix? Is that why Flash Fiction is great? Yes, but it's so much more. The eighty stories in this collection are unforgettable, upsetting, rewarding and astonishing. You won't be disappointed.
This type of Book is good for...
A quick read, but be cautioned. True, the words flew past your eyes, but what was the writer conveying?
I especially liked...
My two favorite stories. "Jumper Down" by Don Shea and The Barbie Birthday" by Alison Townsend.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Keep this book with me always. Remember, just because it's flash does not mean it's easy. They're not bedtime stories.
The author of this Book...
Various contemporary writers
I recommend this Book because...
The ability of these writers to captivate and control the reader in short bursts amazes me. The stories are profound and you might reconsider your writing style when you see how little can be everything.

If you buy one flash book, buy this one.
