Congratulations to Stephanie Carty whose debut novel, Shattered, was published recently by Bloodhound Books. This follows the publication of Stephanie’s first short story collection, The Peculiarities of Yearning, by Reflex Press last year.

Shattered’s main character is Christie who works at London’s Somni Company, helping others with sleep disorders. After taking part in a company research trial, she experiences some behavioural and emotional problems—symptoms she strives to keep hidden in order to continue her work.

When she suspects she’s being followed and her life begins to unravel, Christie vows to learn more about the Company’s secretive projects.

It’s great to see Stephanie’s writing reaching many more readers. We wish her great success with Shattered.

Stephanie Carty was shortlisted for the 2017 Bristol Short Story Prize with her story, Born From Red. The story is published in our Volume 10 anthology by Tangent Books: https://www.tangentbooks.co.uk/shop/bristol-short-story-prize-volume-10
