Description:“Short stories as cool, tough and fast as the sport…” (Bidisha)Presented by For Books’ Sake in collaboration with the London Rollergirls, Derby Shorts is a bold and brilliant anthology of the best new fiction from the roller derby track.The ground-breaking collection is the first of its kind, and within its pages, you’ll find short stories of inter-team love, lust, rivalry and rebellion, rollerblading assassins in punk-apocalyptic London, brats and ballerinas turned derby superstars, and much much more.Featuring emerging and established authors from across the UK, Europe, America and beyond (including roller derby players, referees and fanatics from all over the world), the stories in Derby Shorts range from the bittersweet and beautiful to the brutal and bizarre, but keep one thing in common; their obsession with a sport and subculture far too fierce, fearless and exciting to stay underground.What the reviews say:“Every bit as cool a read as you might hope…raucous, hilarious and ground-breaking. Highly recommended.” (Hi! Magazine)“Tales of exhilarating competition, crushing defeat, jealousy, anxiety and thrilling victory…Taut, hard-boiled prose conveys the controlled strength and athleticism of the teams and their rivalries – both on the track and off it.” (xoJaneUK)“Pace, power, and panache abound, both thematically and in the manner of their telling, throughout the stories collected in Derby Shorts… every story crackles with engaging and energetic joie de vivre. Inspiring, fun, bittersweet, energetic, hugely enjoyable and filled with many moments to cheer about… Derby Shorts is very much in the mould of the sport it celebrates.” (Plectrum – The Cultural Pick)“There can be no finer companion to the beautiful game. Derby Shorts presents a smorgasbord of delectable derby-themed short fiction. Rules, hearts and bones are broken as each story offers a fresh and original spin on the rockin’ rollin’ theme… an essential read for roller derby fans and short story lovers alike.” (The List)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
