The Stranger & Other Stories

Cover of The StrangerAs many of you will be aware we had a catastrophic fire at the offices of Fish Publishing a couple of years ago which is still causing us problems. We will eventually get at least some of the introductory text for The Stranger as soon as possible, meanwhile we have at east been able to list all of the winning stories and their authors.

We hope eventually to get some of these on line for you to read. Meanwhile why not go to the Fish Shop and look at the anthologies which are still available for sale.
