Thousands of Guelph Mercury readers looked on with shock and regret when the 149-year-old newspaper produced its final edition on January 29, 2016. The development ended a journalistic tradition that was as old as Canada and one that had produced national and provincial honours for its coverage. Now Phil Andrews, former Managing Editor at the Guelph Mercury, has gathered short fiction from nineteen journalists who worked in the Mercury newsroom over the years, to celebrate the paper’s legacy. Former readers of the newspaper and fans of vivid, original fiction should delight in this volume of stories from the journalists who served the Guelph community over the Mercury’s long history.
