Dreaming in Quantum and Other Stories

From award-winning author Lynda Clark come sixteen engrossing stories weaving together elements of folklore, fantasy and speculative fiction, all of them in Clark’s darkly humorous style.

In ’ Ghillie’s Mum’, shortlisted for the BBC Short Story Award, a shape-shifting mother needs to decide whether to compromise and stay in her human form, or lose her son. In ’ Total Transparency’, the protagonist is learning how to live with a gradually disappearing wife. In ’ Blanks’, people are paying to create clones of themselves so they will never die. And in ’ Dreaming in Quantum’, there’s a murder to be solved which echoes through dimensions only accessible in dreams.

An award-winning short fiction writer, Lynda Clark has been widely published in anthologies. Her debut novel, ’Beyond Kidding’ was published by Fairlight Books in 2019 and is in development for a feature with Film4. She has completed a PhD in Creative and Critical Writing and is currently a Research Fellow in Narrative and Play at the University of Dundee. ’Dreaming in Quantum and Other Stories’ is her first collection of short stories.
