Expect to read some quality work in ''Best British Short Stories 2013'', sourced from a number of short story magazines; ''Granta'', ''Shadows and Tall Trees'', ''Unthology'' and ''The Edinburgh Review'' are just some of the publications in which these pieces were to be seen first. If asked to identify a red thread between the components of Nicholas Royle’s anthology, I would say that in each short story, everything is left to simmer under the surface. There is a frustration brought about by the lack of clarity in every short story, which to me is a reflection of just how unclear the most seismic of situations may be to any individual involved.
