Beyond thrilled for the brilliant Fiona McFarlane — Winner of the 21st annual Story Prize for her stunning collection, HIGHWAY THIRTEEN! 🏆

Set against the backdrop of a serial killer’s crimes, these interconnected stories explore the quiet but lasting impact of violence — in everyday lives, in intimate spaces and in the minds of unsuspecting strangers.

Elegant, eerie, and deeply human, HIGHWAY THIRTEEN is a masterclass in tension and empathy — a book that lingers long after the final page.

Congratulations, Fiona!
