looking for a man to make you whole.
Here are a hundred of them, perfectly formed.
These men will never let you down,
or give you a load of grief.
They’ll stay around.
Time and tide wait for no man.
So take one, quick.
They’ll love you like no other can.
Extract from winning entry ‘Standing on the Cast-Iron
Shore’ by Kathy Miles.

When I was a little kid, my mother told me that at the hottest time of the year you could see a star even when the sun was out. She called it the Dogstar, and it was the brightest one in the sky. Some days, the Dogstar’s heat and the sun would combine to make the asphalt and dust bake like flour, and that’s why we call those days the dog days. It’s bullshit, of course. I’ve looked at the sky a billion times and I’ve never seen a star in the daylight.’ – Extract from ‘The Dogstar’
The Dogstar and Other Stories contains the ten winning entries from the Leaf Books Science Fiction and Fantasy Competition. They cover subjects as diverse and imaginative as a lone astronaut’s desperate universe-wide search for another sentient being, a tailor’s affair with the mystical Lady who comes to heal his plague-ridden town and a man who says sorry and starts to fly. A more fantastical collection of stories you could never hope to encounter, not even in an infinite series of parallel universes.
