This is the greatest collection of short stories ever printed, from the pens of eight brilliant, international writers based in Stockholm. That statement might not true. But is it a blatant lie or merely hyperbole? Where does one draw the line between truth and lie? Is it ever okay to lie? Follow our writers as they unspool the threads of different types of lies. What happens when a father replaces a dead pet without telling his daughter? When society leaves us no choice but to lie? When the stories in our heads become intertwined with our reality? A ghosted lover's journey through grief and a journalist who just wants to report the Truth of a tragic event... these are some of the stories that await you. From white lies that protect to webs of manipulation that entrap, Aurora's Thread invites you to explore the tenuous reasons why we lie and to delve into the sometimes drastic, sometimes humorous, consequences thereof.

At any given moment, we are on a journey. We may be travelling the world or sitting in a commuter train—but even without physical movement we are adrift in our minds, thoughts, and feelings. Some journeys are more obvious than others, but all are potentially life changing. As we venture through life, our perception of the world changes, and we with it. In Pathways Adrift, fifteen international writers from Stockholm depart from a common theme to take you near and far, physically and emotionally. Join them as they journey through antiquity, through fjords and empty voids, arid desertscapes or modern cityscapes, through outer space and enchanted woods.

Thirteen writers. One theme. Infinite ambition. Stories We Tell returns with its third consecutive anthology in which thirteen Stockholm-based international authors take on the many faces of ambition—its quiet hunger, its sharp edges, its moments of brilliance and of ruin. Clever, darkly funny, and a little unsettling, the anthology explores how ambition shapes us. From overworked employees and fed up farmers to stressed single moms and stalwart students, from bored geniuses and driven children to intergalactic pious priests and petulant princes, from regretful writers to the text itself: the one constant is the character’s inner drive. Just as too much ambition can be a dangerous thing, too little can ruin your life. And sometimes, even with ambition, you need a little luck on your side. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles. Ambition moves us all, but until the story unfolds, you won’t know where it leads you.
