Bracket is the latest in Comma's acclaimed series of short story anthologies, bringing together 20 of the country's most promising, previously unpublished writers. From the cliffs of Flamborough Head to high rise, inner city madness; from lost loves to the last days of civilisation - the settings and scenarios in these stories captivate and unsettle in equal quantities, all the time striving for that most unlikely modern thing, intimacy.
