Yesterday in the UK the pubs reopened. Today something even better happened., and way more culturally significant.
The Fox Spirit Book of Love has launched.
You can find it on Amazon for kindle or in paperback or our own ebook store.
Cover by C.A. Yates, Paul Yates and Vincent Holland-Keen
Typesetting by HandEBooks
It’s edited by the irrepressible C.A. Yates who has been a long term fixture at Fox Spirit with incredible short stories, displaying fantastic range and also excellent humour. Here the marvellous Yates brings the same spicy variety to that most mysterious human emotion. Love.
Without further ado…
‘These are probably not the love stories you are looking for…..
…. but they should be.’
Love. That many-splendoured thing. It can move mountains and make fools of us all, but what is it? Does it come courtesy of a cherub’s bow? Is it a battlefield? Endless? Crazy? Only available on a Friday? Well, the answer might be between these covers. Inside you’ll find stories from fantastical worlds to fairy tales, from dark places to virtual reality, tales of transformation, hope, and despair. Above all else, each one is, at heart, about love.
