Anything Strange or Startling
Tony Black’s debut collection, Anything Strange or Startling (Yellow House Publishing, October 2025), brings together fifteen years of acclaimed short fiction and micro fictions. With sharp wit, lyrical prose, and deep compassion, these stories explore love, loss, friendship, morality, and art, set everywhere from 1950s Belfast jazz clubs to medieval villages and the Glens of Antrim. A bold, humane, and imaginative debut from a vital Northern Irish voice.
