The Bright Report Volume 3
The next collection in the highly ignored and unanticipated series from the world’s least visible publication, The Bright Report (est. 1921). For this volume, Mr Balding, the editor, selected seven stories that pushes the envelope on what is possible. Remember, here at the Bright Report, we seek to find the human in the absurd.
Frank Safely just wants to buy a television, but life isn’t easy even for a retired noir detective.
Pash Tensing investigates an art installation with a superpowered secret.
Emma Rose Armitage discovers the difficulty of extremely-long-distance education.
Charline Ratanang reports on (and takes part in) the Competitive Housekeeping Final.
Calliper Print (our newest journalist) tracks down a teary fridge.
Carmichael Carmichael faces a threat he cannot understand as he tries to escape the Cloud Islands.
An author we cannot quite recall finally figures out what the cursed quill does.

The work of a brilliant mind, honestly. Throughout each story, however short, you get the fully essence of each character, unique and rich without descprition necessarily, but in mannerism. While each story seems stand-alone, you get the idea of how each thread leads to a bigger picture of a marvelous world ripe with possibility. Whether you like the essentric learning capabilities of a certain librarian or the flavourful flashbacks of a detective longing for the past, there is something for everyone in this collection of enigmatic stories.
If you love Terry Pratchett, this is definitely a must read!

Bright three
It was was worth the wait and very enjoyable to be part of this universe again. Good escapism and good story telling.
Cannot wait for the next instalment.
