A flash review for some great flash fiction.

I usually struggle with short stories as I prefer something longer which I can get my teeth into and I prefer all my plotlines tied up in nice bows rather than being left to my imagination once the story has ended. But I really, really enjoyed these creepy flash fiction works.

Writing an emotive plot in such few words is such a skill and one that I am in complete awe of. These individual stories were dark and gritty but also humorous and with some very unexpected twists.
