Book excerpt: 'It is easier to know people in small places. Sometimes you can't help knowing them. Like the boy who walks four miles to school; or the elderly gentleman who is up every morning at five o'clock, taking his morning walk (tap-tap-tap, I hear his walking stick below my window); or that busy little woman gathering firewood for the winter; or the man from the nursery who sells me a potted geranium and ends up telling me the story of his life... So many stories waiting to be told! And, as I have discovered, small towns may be smaller than cities, and there may be fewer people living in them, but the stories they provide a writer with are big, they contain worlds upon worlds within them.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Last of the Small Towns: Short Stories is a charming collection of tales that recount the boyhood years of author Stewart Hyson. From gatherings in the “Indian Graveyard” through unprecedented encounters with baby chicks, here is a sentimental recounting of a range of colourful juvenile adventures experienced by a boy during a time that was poignantly more innocent than today. Hantsport, Nova Scotia, might have been a small place during the 1950s and early 1960s, but it was a veritable hive of activity in certain sectors and for certain segments of its lively population—especially through a kid’s eyes. In this memoir, Hyson invites readers to share his childish perspective of the postwar years on the streets of this little town. With a strong wash of nostalgia that characterizes his memory of his time there, Hyson shares his growing-up experiences of such preoccupations of the time as Sputnik and the widespread introduction of television. Last of the Small Towns: Short Stories is a labour of love that delivers readers back into their own childhoods, so vividly painted are its scenes. It is this energy, this devotion to subject, that are the book’s greatest strength.

Book excerpt: From The Lottery to Those That Walk Away From Omelas, speculation has a rich history in written fiction, especially in the short-story format. The obvious appeal lies in its ability to shuck the constraints of what we know know now in favor of exploring what we think could be. However, in literature, these speculations are often levied at the larger society, the teeming masses holed up in dystopian metropolises. It's easy to see the reason why so many writers would go there: it's where the action is. But what happens at the margins, in the podunk small towns where history is forgotten and the future seems so removed compared to the rest of the world? How does the little man or woman deal with these (oftentimes catastrophic) changes? That's what I wanted to find out. I grew up in a town with a population of around 2,000. And while I'd always lamented being trapped at the cross streets of Boring and Hopeless, I recognized the relative safety in the confines of a small town. But what if that were to change? What if everything went to shit? This anthology of short stories is a way for us to explore these changes, and explore we do. From killer dick pills to retro-futuristic Hatfield and McCoys; from Thunderdome-esque child gladiators to the just plain weird; Small Town Futures is your chance to tap into the twisted, sometimes bleak, sometimes hilarious minds of a new crop of authors just begging you to look into their crystal balls. Caution, however, is advised, for you might not always like the future you see.
