Tales of the DeCongested, Volume One
When Apis Books decided to publish Tales of the DeCongested, Volume One, there was some concern that the live feeling of the event would be lost.
Particularly with very short stories, there are overlaps with oral literary traditions, which live literature events, like Tales, are now beginning to explore and enjoy. To keep alive the particular pleasure of listening to stories, Apis Books decided to record the authors performing their stories from the anthology. They will be available to download here from 29th June.
