Eagle in the Maze /Tessa Hadley and Meic Stephens (eds)

The short story is a vital and vibrant form. To make more of it the Rhys Davies Trust, established to promote the name and works of the great Rhondda novelist and short story writer, funds a regular short story competition. Eagle in the Maze represents the best of those stories.

You can put a whole world in a short story or next to nothing at all: anything’s permitted. In all eleven winning stories, what matters is that subject and form and language combine to make the sparks fly, to make something happen, something new.
