'Adam Lock is a new flash fiction master with an unflinching eye for the treacheries of love. His stories, which are brimming with urgency, leave the reader emotionally breathless.'
Meg Porkrass, author of 'Alligators At Night,' Series Co-Editor, 'Best Microfiction 2019.'

'Adam Lock has an unerring eye for the small details of everyday life, but his stories are big and bold, full of empathy and understanding. We were lucky to publish 'With the Lights Out, It’s Less Dangerous,' which intertwines the awkward adolescent fumblings of Rebecca and her over-excited boyfriend with her profound feeling of loss after the death of Kurt Cobain. It’s a beautifully written and cleverly crafted story that stays with you.'

'Punchy. Sophisticated. Unexpected. Just a few words to describe the work of Adam Lock, who has rapidly revealed himself as a writer with buckets of talent. Top three in the Cambridge Short Story Prize 2017 and winner of the TSS Flash 400 competition 2018, he's swiftly proving to be master of words.'
TSS Publishing

'Adam Lock is one of the finest voices in the UK when it comes to Flash Fiction and the Short Story form – his writing is crafted with such realism that it is hard not to be swept away by the words, characters and deeply rich stories he creates. Time and again we are blown away by his words, each passing story further cementing him as a writer to watch and a unique talent that needs to be discovered.'
STORGY Magazine

'Adam Lock is a fine writer who, with skill and compassion, delves into the core of his characters’ ordinary and often unhappy lives.'
Fictive Dream

'Thunder is more than a story about the alliance-building cliques of the play date. It’s a story about belonging and not belonging, about teaching children to develop independent thought, and about being secure in the quotidian margins.'
Fictive Dream, on the story: 'Thunder.' 

'Dinosaur is arrestingly brilliant, endlessly beguiling, passionate,  heart-breakingly pure and a sheer masterpiece – an astonishing debut.'
STORGY Magazine

'Warm, witty, dramatic and real. Adam is wonderful story teller and a master of the poignant ending.'
