The Comma Singles series consists of 82 individually published short stories released between 2011 and 2021. The series began with Fewer Things and The Cave in 2011, and expanded significantly in 2013 with stories like Crosswords, Earthquakes, and The Heart of Denis Noble. The bulk of the collection arrived in 2018 with dozens of titles.
The stories cover a broad range of subjects, from historical pieces like The Flight into Egypt and Crystal Night to contemporary stories like The Beckhams are in Betty’s and Testicular Cancer vs. the Behemoth. Later entries include The Sayer of the Sooth (2019) and Living in Hope (2021). The single-story format allows each piece to be read independently.
