Ghosts, Birds, Beasts, and Unusual People Gather to Showcase A World of Literary Magic

OXFORD, U.K. - Aug. 28, 2023 - PRLog -- Fantastic Books Publishing is delighted to announce the release of Do You Remember the Barn Owl?  – an enchanting short story anthology written by the talented Barbara Lorna Hudson, showcasing a collection of captivating tales, ranging from comedy to tragedy and including several of Barbara's competition successes.

Barbara's short fiction has gained recognition over the years, having been published in a variety of magazines, but this is the first time it has been collected together. It was the realisation of how scattered her published work had become, that decided Barbara to gather the very best into this anthology.

Reflecting on her body of work, Barbara says, "Each story holds a unique world and a distinct set of emotions. They have been written over many years. It surprised me to realize how diverse my short fiction had become. I was in danger of not being able to keep track of it."

Fantastic Books Publishing CEO, Dan Grubb, says, "Much of Barbara's short works were essentially lost to readers, buried in a variety of magazines across the years. It was time to bring out a collection in book form to sit beside her novels." He goes on to use Barbara's experience to offer a valuable lesson to other writers, saying, "Barbara is a prolific and talented writer. I was delighted to publish an anthology of her short works, but I was only able to do so because Barbara had been careful to retain the copyright to all her stories."

Do You Remember the Barn Owl? is a literary treasure trove of quirky short stories and flash fiction filled with unforgettable characters, eerie moments and heartwarming tales. Each story presents a unique perspective and a thought-provoking narrative, leaving a lasting impact on its readers.

The anthology officially launches at Fantastic Books Publishing's Massive Autumn Book Launch Event on Saturday 14th October 2023.
