If, like us, you associate short fiction with Readers Digest and the smell of your Granny's lounge room then you need Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope All-Story.
Started by the director in a reaction of sorts to the ego of screenplays, each edition of Zoetrope All-Story is filled with seven different voices of fiction's brightest, alongside artwork, drawings and photography from renowned and up-and-coming artists.
Past editions have included contributions from Chip Kidd and Dave Eggers, while the latest, curated by Will Oldham, stitches together dark tales of psychic beings, mysterious illness and a hilarious "mail fisted shakedown" courtesy of Woody Allen (who yes, writes like he speaks).
Founded by FFC's publishing house All-Story - which also runs workshops and comps for fiction writers - the publication is pegged to take out the 2007 National Magazine Award for Fiction. Subscribe online, or wean your Gran off Digest and get her to subscribe for you.
