Thursday Nights: Short Fiction
Celebrating 40 years of Tindal Street Fiction Group
Tindal Street Fiction Group celebrates 40 years in 2023. It''s not just any writing group, though - it''s truly extraordinary.
Made up of accomplished writers, its members down the years include Booker and Orange prize long-listees, best-sellers, winners of several awards including the Tom-Gallon award, a Shirley Jackson award and the Prix du Premier Roman Etranger, and appearances in several Best British Short Stories anthologies.
Thursday Nights is a snapshot of work from the group today, which meets fortnightly in Birmingham on Thursday evening. The 14 stories and novel extracts in this collection are the work of current members, all local writers with eyes on the world.
The stories travel from Birmingham to India, via San Francisco and Italy, stretching from the 19th century to the modern day.
From the writing group that gave birth to regional publishing powerhouse Tindal Street Press in the 1990s, look inside these pages and join us on the latest adventure in our long and storied journey.

Meet Ash, thirteen years old, saying goodbye to his father before he goes to serve a stretch in prison. His dad''s friend Kieran helps get rid of social services and then school''s out for ever. But when his father''s house begins to fill with stolen goods and armed gangsters, it''s easy for Ash to get into trouble. When Kieran enlists him on a job, an attempted takeover of the Norway Room club, it goes disastrously wrong. Alone in a dangerous city, Ash is forced to hide out on the Mendy Estate, in the towers and takeaways, in the back rooms where the real work of the city is planned. Meanwhile, an ex-copper working as a bouncer for the city''s busiest club gets caught in the middle of a hostile takeover and is tempted towards joining the criminal underworld. And a trained Chinese killer falls in love with his target. As these narratives converge in a spectacular finale, who would bet against born survivor Ash, alone in the city, to do the impossible and stay alive?
