Stories by various authors; edited by Steve Moss and John Daniel

Billboard magazine had this to say about The World's Shortest Stories Vol. 1, "What is most impressive in this collection of great stories is the sheer variety. Let's hope a second volume of these tiny gems will not be long in coming!"

Well, here it is!

Love and death, and all of the horror in between. A second helping of the most amazing short stories ever written-each one just 55 words long! Imagine O. Henry's tales if he'd only had the back of a business card to write upon.

Includes stories from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, Barnaby Conrad, Alfred C. Martino, Neil Steinberg, Herbert Gold, Norman Lear, Larry Niven and more...

He is the editor and co-publisher of New Times in San Luis Obispo, where he started Fifty-Five Fiction as an annual writing contest.
