Seems a wringer (easily misspelled as “writer") used to be an instrument of torture to squeeze stuff. Yup, that fit.
So ten writers in ten stories put their characters through wringers in one form or another in these pages, and it turned out honestly, fantastic fun to read.
And amazing how all the stories fit a title we had to look up.
