A Splendid Salmagundi

“A Splendid Salmagundi is a delicious salad of short stories seasoned with a light dusting of poems, covering a variety of genres. You will find one or two true stories, some humour, some horror, fantasy, adventure and science-fiction. Many are Amazon-published authors whose work you may already have read. Others will soon be favourites.”

The authors over at the GoodReads' UK Amazon Kindle Forum have colluded to inflict yet another anthology upon an unsuspecting Kindle readership. More prominent among their number are Rosen Trevithick, Darren Humphries and Cornelius Harker (all British-Indie-Fiction listed authors). Submissions include cozy titles such as A Lovely Cup of Tea to the more sinister Scream for Me, My Dearest, and a smattering of intriguing titles like Charlotte and the Troll and Who is Father Christmas?

This year the volume is over 77,000 words in length, with over 30 contributing authors. There should be something inside for everyone!


“I downloaded this anthology early today and have barely put it down , such was the quality of the writing...There is indeed something for everyone regardless of your preferred genre. Like me you may even be surprised and find yourself drawn to themes you may not have previously considered and in so doing discover some new authors to help you through the dark winter nights ahead.” (Amazon reviewer)

“A Splendid Salmagundi kept me awake late last night as I was so keen to greedily finish all the tasty delights it has to offer. There is so much variety and good reading here...the quality of writing throughout is excellent, and there is some really touching and thought-provoking work here.” (Amazon reviewer)
