This Way Up

The fourth anthology by the talented, eclectic and disparate community of writers known as The Superstars, this exciting new collection of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and experiments is the result of twelve months of prompts, picked at random and posted on the first day of every month between December 2017 and November 2018, and curated by Lauren K. Nixon.

This year's work stems from a sense of liminality - of being on the edge of two worlds or states of being. Join our authors as they explore the weird and the wonderful, the normal and the arcane, the emotional and the physical, and the dangerous and the safe - and, ultimately, what it means to be human. From the dark things that lurk in human (or inhuman) hearts, to the things waiting for us after our final battles; from murder most foul, to meting out justice; from the agony of saying goodbye, to the joy of first falling in love;This Way Up has a little bit of everything.

Including work from: Emilie Addison, Han R. H. Allen, Rae Bailey, Hannah Burns, G. Burton, Jessica Grace Coleman, Hailie Drescher, Amina Farooq, J. A. Foley, T. J. Francis, Kim Hosking, Wayne Naylor, Lauren K. Nixon, Iain Shaw, Louise D. Smith, Ariadne Thayne and E. L. Tovey, and artwork from Naveen N. Bhat, Liz Hearson, Heather E. Page and PhoenixShaman.
