The Hobblebush Granite State Short Story Series publishes one or two volumes a year of New Hampshire short story writers who deserve a wider audience.

Like the Hobblebush Granite State Poetry Series, the Short Story Series presents work that is new and exciting, literary, transformative and important. Series editors Sid Hall and Kirsty Walker believe that a 'good story' is more important than pyrotechnics.

Volume I, published in March of 2015, is Sing by Dan Szczesny, author of The Adventures of Buffalo and Tough Cookie (Bondcliff Books, 2013) and The Nepal Chronicles (Hobblebush Books, 2014).
