Welcome!
We are The Fiction Shelf – an entertainment site for readers and writers. All of the short stories and poems here are of excellent quality and are available to you as free eBooks. You can download our eBooks in a range of formats that can be enjoyed on eBook readers, including Amazon’s Kindle, at your computer or printed onto good old fashioned paper.
If you would like to read some of our fiction use the buttons at the top of page to browse our eBook library. If you’re a writer and want to have your work published on the site click here to learn how. If you have any ideas on how the site could be improved then please drop us an e‐mail.
Named by our latest competition winner as one of her favourites we throw the spotlight onto Rafael Torrubia's concise and metaphorical exploration of the often hidden self.
