Home Tomorrow is a collection of stories submitted to the Writers' Block NE and Bohouse 500-word story competition.

The theme of "Home Tomorrow" inspired a diverse collection of responses that together form a compelling read with a surprise on every single page.

There's fantasy, sci-fi, thriller, kitchen sink drama; stories of loss, innocence and ambition; and, of course, of coming home tomorrow. There are parents and lovers, soldiers and schoolboys, camels and cats, robots and aliens, and one particularly chatty corpse.

"We were awed and overwhelmed by the quality of the tales submitted to the competition. There is talent: so many distinct voices, and we feel sure that there are authors published here you'll be hearing a lot about in years to come."

Laura Degnan, Writers' Block North East
