Books in the Salt Modern Stories series

A Mancunian Kelman, Campbell's dark and darkly humorous tales capture the various voices of society's outsiders.

This collection of short fiction aims to define the sometimes indefinable and to give voice to those struggling to make sense of what life throws at them.

Candescent Blooms is a collection of twelve short stories which form fictionalised biographies of mostly Golden Era Hollywood actors who suffered untimely deaths.

Howell's much-celebrated stories interweave elements of the commonplace with darkness, subterfuge and sheer weirdness, all realised with natural narrative flair.

Ambitious and playful, darkly humorous and imaginative, these strikingly original stories move effortlessly between the realistic and the fantastical, as their outsider characters explore what it's like to be human in the twenty-first century.

Eastmouth and Other Stories is her second collection, featuring stories published in the subsequent decade, including stories that have appeared in Best British Short Stories, Best British Horror and Best New Horror, as well as new, unpublished work.
