The Tyranny of Sand and Other Tiny Stories by Jesse Stanchak

5.0

I've followed @Microflashfic on Twitter for years and enjoy the daily story snippets immensely! This book collects a bunch of these very short stories, organized loosely by topic, each a small world on its own. Some are standalone stories with a beginning, a middle, and an ending, others are snippets that open us to different views and thoughts, but all are entertaining, sometimes funny, sometimes scary, sometimes sad, and sometimes heartbreaking. In the foreword, Jesse Stanchak explains how the idea for these tiny stories came to be, which was very interesting and heartfelt for me.

A completely different take on short fiction, and definitely an interesting read!
