Editor's Note:
These pieces were all written on the Comma Press Short Story Course facilitated by Michelle Green at the Bluecoat in Liverpool. The group met once a month for six months. Each session involved some critique from peers and the tutor of their own work, a close look at examples of stories from other writers as well as theory and practice of the craft. The stories gathered here are the results of that unflinching a wide range of style and focus selected from work created over six months in the upstairs library at Liverpool’s wonderful Bluecoat. They move from absurdist horror to speculative fiction to the quiet and incisive world of powerfully drawn realism. We meet monsters and truth-seekers, defiant agents of change; ordinary people with the slow itch of uncertainty beneath their skin. Each of the writers pushed past what they thought was their limit, and it shows in the writing. They reached out and took risks, and in a form so compact and demanding, that is the only way to do it. Welcome to The Upstairs Library.
