Year Zero is a collective of independent writers, and the Brief Objects anthology is a perfect introduction to their work. Each writer had their own unique thematic focus and style, but they all share a tendency toward gritty, hard-edged urban realism. Theirs are stories about artists, junkies, seekers, and other imperfect souls who stay out too late, wake up with morning-after regrets, dig themselves in too deep - in short, people like the rest of us.

These are some of the most original and talented voices you'll find anywhere, let alone for free on the Web
