Stories from around the world move between the uncanny, the intimate, and the unexpected. Running Wild Press Short Story Anthology, Volume 9 brings together fiction by a temporary gathering of writers whose work ranges from death to dancing, magic to mystery, and nostalgia to neurosis. These tales venture outward into science fiction and time travel, then turn inward toward human experience and society.
Edited by Ben White, this varied collection offers readers a mix of moods and ideas rather than a single path through one world. Its stories can thrill, entertain, and linger in the mind, inviting readers to reflect on where imagination leads and what it reveals about ordinary life. For readers aged 12 and up who enjoy speculative fiction, mystery, and thought-provoking literary fiction, the collection gathers distinct voices in one volume. Which of its many unexpected turns will stay with you?
