The fourth volume of the annual anthology thatโs been praised nationwide by readers and numerous award-winning and bestselling authors, COOLEST AMERICAN STORIES 2025 exudes its editorsโ philosophy that a collection of widely appealing short stories can make for common ground that could unite rather than divide Americans.
Toward this end, COOLEST AMERICAN STORIES 2025 features a romp of a crime story by multiple Thriller Award winning author Twist Phelan; a poignant yet surprising story about prison life by Pushcart Prize winner Mathieu Cailler; and NYC veteran author Francine Witte's hilarious rom-com about a woman who's obsessed with love and murder both.
And sinceย interestingย storytellingโrather than a bunch of publishing creditsโmatters most to story-hungry readers, COOLEST AMERICAN STORIES 2025 also includes rising star Demond J Blake'sย Kerouacian, laugh-out-loud tale about a search for meaning in modern-day Southern California; a tense contemporary spy story by gutsy author Philip Cesario; and a shocking portrayal of the emotional effects of American cancel culture by the Canadian writer Mehdi M. Kashaniโamong others in this treasure trove of unputdownable, sharply written, sometimes comic, sometimes frightening, always suspenseful stories loaded with twists and turns.
