The Book of Bristol

Joe Melia

A city much celebrated for its culture of resistance and community, Bristol has fostered a progressive attitude amongst its people. Located close enough to the capital to stay on top of trends but remaining small enough to keep independent and inspire connection, its voice is loud and singular. The stories gathered in this anthology lean into the understated magic of Bristol and maintain an air of mystery that will leave readers wondering who exactly makes up this city – and how they stay so powerful.

Celebrated for its creativity, communal spirit, and culture of resistance, Bristol is a city with a loud voice and progressive reputation. But it’ s also a city that has experienced division and inequality. In this anthology, ten acclaimed and emerging writers portray a city full of secrets, scars, and stark contrasts. From the elusive angel who turns up at a stagnant café along the Malago River, to the jilted lover caught in the crosshairs of the police, the stories gathered here lean into the turbulent magic of Bristol and will leave readers with a renewed sense of the city’ s complexity.
