In Case of Emergency: An Ensemble

The fifth anthology by the talented, eclectic and disparate community of writers known as The Superstars. This exciting new collection of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and experiments is the result of twelve months of prompts, picked at random and posted on the first day of every month between January and December 2019, and curated by Lauren K. Nixon. What do we fear? What is it that sends a shiver up our spines, that makes the hair on the backs of our necks stand up? This year our prompts dance along the edges of the unreal and unsettling. Without quite intending to, we have all delved into themes of myth and folklore with a mix of both sinister and whimsical stories and poems. We have been prompted to examine what makes us human - and those most human of questions: what lurks in the dark forest, or the stormy seas? What secrets lie in the mists of autumn or the heart of a flame? Where will the path less trodden take us - and when we get there, will we still be who we were when we set out? Including work from: Rae Bailey, Nic Bescoby, Helen L. Bourne, G. Burton, Jessica Grace Coleman, T. J. Francis, Kim Hosking, Catherine Looser, Wayne Naylor, Lauren K. Nixon, Laura Sinclair, E. L. Tovey, Yvonne Ugarte and Shaun M. Vale, and artwork from Liz Hearson, A. Lizard, Heather E. Page, PhoenixShaman and Neil Turner.
