My favourites were Bloom, a moving and poetic narrative, The Nameless Ones, a haunting tale of revenge, and That Quiet Voice, a tale about abuse and deliverance which has one of the most powerful beginnings I've read in quite some time: "The slap, when it comes, is not entirely unexpected, but still, the sting of it sends me reeling. His palm stamps a florid mark on my cheek, a branding of possession and disrespect. It tells me everything I need to know without him saying a single word."
Well done, Tabatha.
