"There are not many ways to draw suspicion upon yourself any more. You can do almost anything you like, be any kind of person you want, as long as you don't do it unwatched. Everything is permitted, nothing is private."

• Matt Harris, Broken Pixel from Somewhere this Way: New Short Stories from the Fiction Desk

Somewhere This Way is a wonderfully rich and insightful collection of short stories from the Fiction Desk. The stories were short, of course, but impactful, and entirely engaging.

Many of the stories delve into human feelings, odd happenings, and both ordinary and extraordinary challenges. My favourites of the collection were Our Gaff by Poppy Toland, Broken Pixel by Matt Harris and The Haunted Bookshop by Guy Russel. Each presented a world which claimed my attention and demanded after thought. I'm hoping to lend this out, as I'd love to chat about these stories with someone. I'll be reading more from the Fiction Desk.
