Attention Seekers

Longlisted for the Edge Hill Short Story Prize 2024 Some stories will do anything to get your attention... In this thrilling and unflinching debut collection, an eclectic group of characters struggle with the lure of the limelight. A teenager escapes school gossip to hang out with a dead Tudor queen; a reality show applicant has a bitter axe to grind; a spiralling woman weaponises her cat’s internet fame to keep track of her ex; a guest has a mute meltdown while reluctantly attending a silent retreat… Attention Seekers is a tour-de-force of dark humour and social commentary, deconstructing what it means to take up space and be seen – and at what cost. * “Brilliant, brilliant stories.” – Nell Stevens, author of Briefly, A Delicious Life “Compulsively readable. A witty, sharp and unflinching debut ... a masterclass in storytelling.” – HELLO! magazine “Smart, funny and inventive, we couldn’t get enough of these quirky short stories.” – Heat magazine
