Night Time Economy

In this all-new collection of work from some of the West Midlands’ leading writers, you’ll find stories of forlorn 3am hopes and of nocturnal revelations. Of celebrations and hauntings. Of the lost and the found. Of the urban and the urbane. Of the all too real. And the all too unreal.

In 27 new pieces of writing - some truthful, some twisted, some heartfelt, some heart-breaking - we experience first-hand this unique urban quarter of Birmingham and the countless lives it has touched.

‘Another collection of first-rate tales from the second city.’ Mark Billingham

‘This anthology is the best of the West Midlands… I loved it.’ Kit de Waal

‘What sharp insights these authors have… and with talent to burn. A delight.’ Paul McVeigh
