"It is often said that flash fiction straddles the border between poetry and the short story, and the poetic instinct is discernible in Mackintosh’s sense of rhythm and in the resonant quality of the stories..."Read Annemarie Neary's full review at: https://theshortstory.co.uk/short-sto...
I knew Fiona Mackintosh's flash collection, when it came about, would be fiery. And with a blaze of her pen, she doesn't disappoint as she sets each page alight with her word mastery. We are drawn to familiar prize-winning stories like Siren and we remember its first impact. We are taken on journeys to places sometimes we don't want to go but we follow Fiona's words and we hold our breath. Madonna and Child with Apocalypse: A Triptych is a case in point. Boundaries are crushed, imaginations are
Wonderful collection of flash fiction. Some of my favorites were “Janus,” “Resting Place,” and “The Shape of Things to Come” which was especially heartbreakingly beautiful.
Wonderful collection that shows what flash fiction can truly do. Affecting and powerful stories.
It’s amazing how much life can be put into so few words. You’ll think about these stories long after reading them.
