Food + Fiction
Short(b)Reads gathers together thirteen tales of speculative fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, and horror) curated to sate your hunger for entertainment. Each story’s enticing featured food comes to life with a companion recipe—so you can turn fiction into reality.
You’ll find a forbidden ground beef burger that’s out of this world, savory green onion pancakes shared with love and longing, a darkly sweet coffee cake that grew from the magic of generations, and many more.
Rich, meaty, and full of wonderfully different voices, this anthology will fire up both your imagination and your appetite.

Come for the stories, stay for the food! Short(b)Reads is full of a variety of good stories, from funny to scary to heartwarming. It’s so cool to be able to make the food in the stories, too. Really makes them come to life. Highly recommend this one! Another cool concept from Hollow Oak Press!
