Have you ever imagined what it would be like to wake up three thousand years late for work? Whether doomsday devices come with instructions? How reptilian alien impostors might really get on in politics? Find answers to these questions and twenty-eight more in the fourth flash fiction anthology from Damon L. Wakes.

Written one-a-day in July 2013, these thirty-one more very short stories feature a wide (and often surprising) cast of characters: a drunken angel, a baby-themed supervillain, a man who spontaneously turns into two mildly annoyed horses. This book is for everyone who's ever wondered: "Just what would happen if Hydrogen quit its day job to become a country music star...?"

Silly, surreal and sometimes serious, these thirty-one very short stories cover a vast range of subjects and themes. Written entirely during July 2012, these flash fiction pieces are accompanied by a deeply unscientific analysis of the challenge that spawned them: to write thirty-one stories in thirty-one days. From lovesick androids to disgruntled minotaurs, the stories in this book embrace Classical mythology, futuristic sci-fi, and a variety of other genres that would much rather have stayed out of the way. Within these electronic pages, you will find disgraced superheroes, unionised zombies, steam-powered clowns and incompetent astronauts. Includes a non-fiction section analysing the results of this month-long experiment.

What do a squeamish torturer, an intelligent zombie, a newspaper-phobic superhero and Genghis Khan have in common? They're all in this book, and their stories were all written for Flash Fiction Month 2014. With one story for each and every day of July--and a humourous analysis of the event--there's something for everyone here. "I have no problem with this, nor any useful comments!" ~Jasper Fforde

How much cyborg does six million dollars actually get you nowadays? Will anybody ever manage to use time travel to kill Hitler? And is that guy a wizard or just a man wearing a dress? Written one-a-day in July 2016, the stories in this book will answer all these questions and more!

Thirty-one days. A collection of thirty-one stories written entirely in July 2016 during Flash Fiction Month. Includes two extra stories written in the fall of 2016.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read these 31 very short stories written for Flash Fiction Month 2018. Some follow the adventures of spies and secret agents, more of them don't, and most are very, very silly. This book will not self-destruct, but wouldn't it be cool if it did? KABOOM! POW! "Why are you asking me? I'm not that Daniel Craig." ~Daniel Craig

What if horses rode cowboys? What if Sleeping Beauty didn't want to be woken up? What if a teenage Alexander the Great was transported through time to meet the Biker Mice from Mars? Written one-a-day for Flash Fiction Month 2022, the stories in this book will answer these questions and more! (They'll also probably raise quite a few of their own.)

Written one-a-day during July 2020, these 31 very short stories sure are...short? Look, I'll level with you: this is the ninth in the series and I'm struggling to come up with new ways of rehashing the same basic description. If you've read any of the others then you know what you're getting. If you haven't read any of the others then I guess this is as good a place to start as any. Enjoy!

Do you like alien invasions? Superpowered nuns? Dark fairy tales that seem kind of out of place alongside all the alien invasions and superpowered nuns? Well, tough: you're getting them anyway, because this is the tenth Flash Fiction Month anthology by bestselling author Damon L. Wakes. Written one-a-day in July 2021, these very short stories are sure to stick with you (for better or for worse).

For Sale: a quaint selection of 31 very short stories, constructed one-a-day in July 2019. Would suit a buyer who's partial to comedy but doesn't mind being close to horror, sci-fi, or fantasy, possibly all at the same time. Features three recently re-spandexed superhero parodies and a spacious interactive story about duelling Australian chainsaw unicorns. Viewing advised.

*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got in this situation. Well, back in 2012 I decided on a whim to take part in Flash Fiction Month, an event that runs for the whole of July and invites authors to write a brand new story every single day. It's now 2023 and I'm still at it. Also I'm primarily known for a running joke involving bananas for some reason.
