Karavan Press title: IN OTHER STORIES 2025 edited by Kerry Hammerton

‘I am excited by the diversity of writing that is in the anthology, and the variety of stories. There are themes around birth, relationships, our society and death. There are African fables, historical pieces, endings and beginnings, humour and satire, surrealism.’

— Kerry Hammerton
