A showcase for authors Arachne Press has published previously in anthologies, giving a wider perspective on their writing. The collection as a whole has tendency towards fantasy and magical realism, with Cassandra Passarelli's (Liberty Tales) Guatemalan stories taking on a more gritty reality, and Katy Darby's (London Lies, Stations, Shortest Day, Longest Night) engrossing SF and historical stories alongside Joan Taylor Rowan's (London Lies, Lover's Lies, Stations) acid humour and modern desperation and Sarah James' (Longest Day, Shortest Night) elliptical poet's sensibility brought to flash fiction and Helen Morris' (Liberty Tales, Solstice Shorts) ability to get to the heart of a story, and make you laugh out loud or weep inconsolably.

Darby, Katy: - Katy Darby's first novel, The Whores' Asylum, was published by Penguin in February 2012. Her personal website is www.katydarby.com. She has published several stories in Arachne Press anthologies: 'Keep Calm and Carry On' for London Lies, 'The Horror, the Horror' for Stations, 'Character Study' and 'The Fool's Tale' for Liberty Tales, 'Hunt and Pray' and 'In the Blind' for Shortest Day, Longest Night and 'Comeback Special' for We/She. Katy regularly reads for Arachne in her acting capacity, and runs workshops for other writers on performing their work.
