2001: An Odyssey in Words by Tom Hunter, Ian Whates
4.0
2001 An odyssey in words Edited by Ian Whates and Tom Hunger
The theme of this anthology is the commemoration of the birth of Sir Arthur C. Clarke.. While some of these stories directly refer to Clarke’s work, others do it in a way that I probably missed. But the important thing is that they all written to word counts of 2001 words. This makes a useful reference for people who want to get into writing short stories as it provides them with examples by experienced writers of what you can do with the format. There are also a couple of interesting non-fiction essays by Neil Gaiman and China Mieville. Definitely worth checking out for fans of science-fiction and short stories
