Scraps is the second anthology from National
Flash-Fiction Day. It features more than seventy huge
tales told in only a few words. All of the stories in
this collection have been inspired by other works of
art: paintings, sculptures, TV programmes, films, music
and more. As a result they are imbued with something of
the original, but then take off into new and often
surprising directions. Scraps features stories from
Jenny Adamthwaite, Jenn Ashworth, Oliver Barton, Alan
Beard, Natalie Bowers, Cathy Bryant, Joanna Campbell,
Nuala Ní Chonchúir, James Coates, Claire Collison, Chris
Connolly, L.A. Craig, Judy Darley, Ariel Dawn, Vanessa
Gebbie, Kylie Grant, David Gullen, David Hartley, Kevlin
Henney, Tania Hershman, Sarah Hilary, H Anthony
Hildebrand, Eva Holland, Holly Howitt, Thaddeus Howze,
Anouska Huggins, Claire Ibarra, Paul Kavanagh, RM Kealy,

McNamara, Freya Morris, Andrea Mullaney, Clay Norman,
John Paul O'Neill, Sonya Oldwin, Jim O'Loughlin, Amanda
Oosthuizen, Jonathan Pinnock, Dan Powell, Amanda Quinn,
Eabha Rose, Sam Russell, Shelley Day Sclater, Emma Shaw,
Ian Shine, Diane Simmons, Tim Stevenson, Becky Tipper,
Stella Turner, Tracey Upchurch, Bart Van Goethem, Alison
Wells and Brendan Way. Funny, sad, exciting, intriguing,
experimental and traditional, Scraps is a snapshot of
the best in contemporary flash fiction.
