“What makes Steal Me [for Your Stories] great is that it completely succeeds in what all those other youth-in-the-city short story collections merely attempt – and fail – to do. Steal Me doesn’t just capture the absurdity of drunken young people in the 21st century, it doesn’t try to seek triumph from exposing the inner workings of sexually active minds, it doesn’t force truth out of vomit, cramped apartments, and antidepressants. Steal Me brings to light what those other writers apparently have forgotten is just as true and as important as those ridiculous, depressing moments: the euphoric bits of life.”

A.K. Mayhew, review of Steal Me for Your Stories by Robb Todd

(Read Todd’s short story, “The City From a Bridge,” taken from Steal Me for Your Stories, in the new issue of fwriction : review.)

    I’ll make a confession right here: I continuously seek out stories about young, middle class, over-privileged
