Flash Fiction chosen by Mark Dennis Anderson

“How To Spend Your Time Before the Renegade Planet Makes it All Go Dark” by Justin Lawrence Daugherty via CHEAP POP

“Sea of Love” by Maria Mutch via SmokeLong Quarterly

I am always delighted when I find effective and moving epic, literary flash fiction such as this. This is a story that proves it is indeed possible.

“Nyarlathotep” by H.P. Lovecraft via Flash Fiction Online

Classic, epic horror from a classic, epic writer. Few, if any [contemporary], authors can pull of sentences like these.
