Synopsis

Readers in Los Angeles are thirsty for stories that bring their city to life. This anthology features a diverse range of voices and genres. Like the City of Angels in which these stories were born, nothing is off-limits. Literary or contemporary, noir or ghost story, fabulism or science fiction, each story in this volume will forever change the way you look at this iconic metropolis.Made in L.A. Writers is a collaborative of Los Angeles-based authors dedicated to nurturing and promoting indie fiction. This 2018 volume is the first of the annual Made in L.A. anthology series. While our styles, themes, and story locales differ, our work is both influenced and illuminated by our hometown and underpinned by the extraordinary, multifaceted, and often surreal culture and life in the City of Angels.

About this title

Review:

"MADE IN L.A.: STORIES ROOTED IN THE CITY OF ANGELS is a gift to short story lovers. The themes of the stories are universal, yet, when set in Los Angeles, each is infused with a pathos that can only come in a city that encourages dreams only to break them. Many are excellent, and all are worth reading."
- IndieReader | 4.5 out of 5 stars

"Vibrant. Every page of Made in L.A. beats with the earnest heart of a literary city that has come into its own at long last. Whether it's going toe-to-toe with a Hell Mouth in one of the Southland's more anonymous stretches, sharing a hot tub at the Hollywood YMCA with a certain orange-faced demagogue, or simply enjoying a day at the beach, the stories in this exciting collection show us a Los Angeles where the mundane and the fantastical bask in the same ineffable light. Each story is like discovering a new corner of the city, at once exotic and familiar. The voices on display are as diverse as the people who call this grand, sprawling, intimate place home."
- Dan Lopez, author of The Show House

"Los Angeles is a place of many things. Hopes, dreams, fun, and horror. This collection of short stories has a little bit of everything in them. You will read about aliens, demons and angels, the young trying to be famous, and those past their primes. It definitely has something for everyone and no one will be disappointed. I loved all of these stories, some more so than others, but they were all a joy to read."
