Quite Weird
Tales for uneasy reading
Malago Press proudly presents its first publication Quite Weird, an anthology of short stories for uneasy reading.
From fantastic beasts in the night to Napoleon’s personal cologne, and from glimpses of alternative lives to drowned souls ghosting into jellyfish, these tales are perfect for anyone who wants to edge away from reality and taste the strangeness of what lies beyond.
This anthology was authored by members of Just Write Bristol. It was launched on 2 November 2024 at the Clevedon Literary Festival, along with an open mic and songs from musician Dawn Kelly.
