There are coming-of-age stories, off-kilter stories, sad ones, stories of internal and external landscapes, and a few that are wonderfully strange…’ — Angela Meyer, Australian Book Review

‘This is one of the best books I’ve read of any genre and that’s coming from someone who normally avoids short story collections.’ — Pelican

‘What is most striking about The Kid on the Karaoke Stage is its stories’ range of style and genre, a range which seems to suggest that Fremantle Press has generously – and quite unusually – created a collection that includes both the voices of writers who have mastered their craft and those who are still very much finding their voice.’ — Text Journal
