I don't do short stories no more but maybe I'll delve into the archive and send one in. The standard is usually very high and lots of don't go places. I've never read anything by Molly Keane but I see she was nominated for the Booker for "Good Behaviour" and started writing to supplement her "dress allowance". Something somewhere about black humour! So sounds just the thing up here Only short stories accepted!
