'In his debut collection, What you might find, Richard Holt invites readers into corners that become dark, into places in which they do not belong and into moments that will change things utterly for his imperfect protagonists.
'Characters grapple with misunderstandings, the weight of pasts and the moments when fates change course. As a collection it provides points of light and darkness within an overarching narrative of human fallibility.'

'Richard Holt explores the possibilities of microfiction with great inventiveness and style.
'The short short stories collected in Richard Holt’s startling first book, What You Might Find, are precisely constructed and darkly surprising. With impressive economy and no little irreverence, Holt has used the microfiction genre to probe away at what lies behind the events of our lives – the greater meaning, or lack thereof, revealed in a moment.'
