Amazon Description:
America’s
most talented storytellers share their most interesting, engaging,
unputdownable work in a collection made for story lovers.
The fourth volume of the annual anthology that’s been praised nationwide by
readers and numerous award-winning and bestselling authors, COOLEST AMERICAN
STORIES 2025 exudes its editors’ philosophy that a collection of widely
appealing short stories can make for common ground that could unite rather than
divide Americans.
Toward this end, COOLEST AMERICAN STORIES 2025 features a romp of a crime story
by multiple Thriller Award winning author Twist Phelan; a poignant yet
surprising story about prison life by Pushcart Prize winner Mathieu Cailler;
and NYC veteran author Francine Witte's hilarious rom-com about a woman who's
obsessed with love and murder both.
And since interesting storytelling―rather than a bunch of publishing credits―matters most
to story-hungry readers, COOLEST AMERICAN STORIES 2025 also includes rising
star Demond J Blake's Kerouacian, laugh-out-loud tale about a search for
meaning in modern-day Southern California; a tense contemporary spy story by
gutsy author Philip Cesario; and a shocking portrayal of the emotional effects
of American cancel culture by the Canadian writer Mehdi M. Kashani―among others
in this treasure trove of unputdownable, sharply written, sometimes comic,
sometimes frightening, always suspenseful stories loaded with twists and turns.
