I have a fear of literary anthologies. Just like a boardroom table full of strippers, there's always going to be some duds that make you feel queasy. Hence, I approached Voiceworks' new anthology The Words We Found with trepidation.

And, let’s face it, who’s going to waste potential Inspector Rex-watching time by frigging about trying to get trillions of drawings shaded just right, the details of which only the politest members of your extended family will fake an interest in? Not me, that’s for sure.
