A bigger bang

"Willesden Herald: New Short Stories 1" was launched at a special event in the London Metrowords festival.

Steve Finbow led the way with a rapid-fire, mesmerising reading from "Balzac of the Badlands" that had to be heard to be believed. Stupendous.

Here's Vanessa Gebbie's report on "the launch of the best anthology since the big bang." (Notice a rare sighting of a pristine copy of the WH.) To close the night, Vanessa delighted everyone with a reading of her Guildford prize-winning story, "Naming Finbar".

Lynsey Rose read from her disturbing new, unpublished novel, described as like Bridget Jones' Diary as it might have been written by Franz Kafka. Here's: Exitainment's review of the event.
