Why read it?
1 author picked The Midnight Press as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
For me, Oxford is the Hollywood of stories and indeed it is now home to The Story Museum. One of the stars of Oxford storytelling was Colin Dexter, whose Inspector Morse novels have spawned three TV series. He was the patron of the Oxford Writers Group and recommended this anthology. It includes stories from Town, Gown, and County so it is a good holiday read while in Oxford or dreaming of the city.
From Sylvia's list on Oxford and where town meets gown.
