The Method Lamp: A quarterly short fiction anthology. <\/strong>
\nHelp them to showcase the work of talented writers across the globe.<\/p>\n

“A short story is a different thing altogether. <\/i>A short story is like a kiss in the dark from a stranger.<\/i>” – Stephen King.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The Short Story.\u00a0<\/b>Surely the underdog of literary styles. But why? While novels tell epic tales of love and war, fear and triumph, adventure and discovery, the short story encapsulates in a brief space of time the most powerful concepts, taking the reader on a whirlwind voyage of thought, pure imagination and uncluttered creative vision.<\/b><\/p>\n

“Short fiction is an inherently 21st century way to tell a story. It is concise, accessible and it can be enjoyed absolutely anywhere. Pioneering projects like The Method Lamp<\/b> will serve to empower the next generation of authors, enabling new ways of seeing, doing and discovering. The ride starts here.<\/i>” – Chris Quicksilver, contributing author to the project.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

A beautiful limited-edition book of extraordinary short stories.<\/i><\/h1>\n

The Method Lamp<\/i> aims to open a door for writers and readers alike, bridging the publishing void between a global wealth of storytelling talent, and a readership hungry for a different kind of fiction: concise, imaginative, exploring exciting concepts and ideas.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

“A short story is a shard, a sliver, a vignette. It\u2019s a biopsy on the human condition.<\/i>”\u00a0– Will Self.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The Method Lamp <\/i>will be published in February, May, August and November each year, in the form of a quality paperback book delivered to your door. By pledging just \u00a36 to the project (+P&P), you secure one of 300 hand-numbered LIMITED EDITION copies of the first edition*, due to be shipped in February 2016.
