The flagship title of Lion Lounge Press, The Lounge Companion, is the gorgeous literary assemblage of creative minds from all over the world, yes all over it, that not only have the gift of the written word in common, but that for some reason or another also think of themselves as part of the European community. An impressive line-up of writers -from young and previously undiscovered ones, such as Raphael Morosina, to highly acclaimed writers, such as Oxonian playwright Gwilym Scourfield - makes this a must-have collection for the Creative Writing devotee.

Compiled and edited by Leon Terner, co-founder and former senior editor of Popplepress.com, The Lounge Companion contains seven poems and nine short stories by sixteen different authors from nine different countries. Many different genres are represented among them, from a ghost story and an introspective drama to a political allegory and a piece of sci-fi eroticism. Without a doubt, these articles of prose and poetry are a powerful introduction to European creative writing.
