Flash Fiction International: Very Short Stories from Around the World by Robert Shapard, James Thomas, Christopher Merrill

3.0

FLASH FICTION INTERNATIONAL ⭐️⭐️ I love flash fiction and have a hard time finding it at the library and bookstores. Unfortunately, this collection felt heavy on the shock value (sex, violence) and light on the craft. Flash writing is so intricate and full. Every word, every punctuation matters. Instead of rising to that challenge, it felt like the writers tried to grab the reader with messy, “surprising,” and (ultimately) redundant content.
