  • "Now you see him" by Tim Craig (AdHoc fiction, 2022) [That so many categories are required attests to the variety and interest. My favourites include "Cat Barbecue", "Northern Lights", "Now You See Him", "Heir", "Peacocks", "That's All There Is, There Ain't No More"]

  • "Alligators in the Night" by Meg Pokrass (Ad Hoc Fiction, 2018) [Situations abound where the status of a relationship is changing - first dates especially, the main character (always female?) in want of a relationship, lacking the skills to find one. There are also many pets, breasts, freckles and dogs that sniff at guests. The idea of eloping to Alaska appears in 3 stories, lice in thrift shops appearing in 2. I felt that sometimes stories tried rather too hard to repeatedly surprise. Overall the book kept me interested.]
