A Cast of Crabs

By Susan Iona Swan

A fairground incident leads a mother to sinister thoughts. The ocean invites itself into a family home. A folkloric figure looms large over a northern coastal town.

Peel back the layers and see what lurks under the surface of the stories in our latest prize-winning anthology, A Cast of Crabs.

Regret, repression, identity, imagination, the missing and the missed are all explored in this darkly fascinating collection of short fiction.

A Cast of Crabs contains the 30 winning and shortlisted stories, flash fictions and micro fictions from the 2021 Retreat West Prize.
