This extraordinary collection gathers short-short stories--none longer than 1,800 words--by some of North Carolina's best contemporary writers, including Doris Betts, Orson Scott Card, Fred Chappell, Sarah Dessen, Haven Kimmel, Robert Morgan, Lee Smith, Elizabeth Spencer, and Daniel Wallace. The stories are compulsively readable. The spellbinding elements of brevity, variety, and surprise conspire to keep readers flipping pages. Comic, tragic, magical, fantastical, provocative, disturbing, luminous, the short-short form proves a reliably elastic and dazzling medium for every writer featured.In one flash of literary artistry after another, these sixty-five established and emerging writers remind us why we read fiction: to laugh, to learn, to feel, to be discomfited and challenged, to be transported, and to make enlightening and enduring connections with the world outside our own skins. Long Story Short will appeal to legions of fans who already delight in reading many of the North Carolina authors included here and will introduce them to extraordinary writers they have not yet discovered.

Great value
You get so many in the package. My dog gets one each night after dinner as a “tooth brushing”. He’s a big greyhound and these are thin and smallish, which is great for smaller dogs, but he loves them anyway.

My dogs favorite
These are my dogs favourite treats at the end of the day. I used to buy the small packages, but im so glad i just discovered the large size. He waits all day for these and he'll even sit by the drawer theyre kept in throughout the day hoping to get one. They smell like real food (not strong though) and one of these lasts him at least 20-30 minutes. My dog is insanely picky when it comes to chewing sticks so im glad hes obsessed with these. He'll first chew off the chicken wrapping around the rawhide, then eat the full rawhide afterwards followed by a huge nap. They tire him out which is perfect because hes a huge chewer.
