A snatched lunch-hour or daily commute doesn't have to be spent wasted, bored or uninspired'. A continuation of the successful "Short Story Reinvented" series, "Eight Hours" is a dynamic cross between the novel and the short-story, showcasing new writing from eight talented authors. Each story follows a different main character for a single hour and, from a fifteen year old girl who is so tormented she can't sleep, to a man who experiences counselling for the first time, the collection reveals an intriguing mix of powerful snapshots. Modern-day fiction at its immediate and vigorous best.
