This collection of fantasy short stories are from the three winners of Remastered Words 2019 audio anthology, including a tale from Jonathan Green with ‘Who Walks with Death’ which was first published in “Legend”, an anthology released in 2013 in honour of David Gemmell. Once again a theme has developed when there were none prescribed and each story follows a significant journey in the life of its protagonist. Whatever the direction though and wherever the roads may lead, you’ll be glad of a warm fire and comfy chair whilst the fabled journey plays out.
Here’s what some of our judges had to say:
“Heart Proof is a clever and thought-provoking story. Heart Proof simmers with the passion of its unique protagonist.” – Jonathan French
“Yeva and the Green Garden captured my imagination by presenting not only a fully realized far-future setting, but a well-drawn cast of characters who live, love, fight, die, and argue about the chores together. This story presents a future haunted by the consequences of our own worst actions, but presents it with hope, and an eye toward how ultimately it is the people we love that help us survive. It’s a fantastic story, and it deserves to be read far and wide.” – Rachael Jones
“The Enchantress’s Pets is a cleverly-conceived twist on the myth of Circe. I loved that the main character was the wolf and that the moral dilemmas were faced by him rather than Circe or Telemachus. Lots to enjoy in this story!” – Sebastien de Castell
