MicroHorror

I just finished reading Night Falls On Everyone, a collection of nine short horror stories edited by MicroHorror contributor Casey Quinn. It’s a slim volume at only 110 pages, but the stories are good and are accompanied by some genuinely creepy illustrations. I recommend it. You can buy a copy at the newly revamped MicroHorror shop.

Don’t want to spend the money? Well, I just happen to have an extra copy here, and I’d like to give it to some deserving MicroHorror devotee, so I’m officially announcing a mini-contest! In keeping with the title of the book, I’d like to see some stories answering the question “What happens when night falls?” In keeping with the page count, you’re limited to 110 words or shorter. How’s that for thematically appropriate?

Only newly written stories are eligible. I’ll judge the entries, and the author of the story that best incorporates the theme will receive a copy of Night Falls On Everyone. Send all your entries to microhorror@gmail.com and indicate that it’s a contest entry in the subject of the e-mail. All stories submitted for the contest will also be considered as regular submissions to MicroHorror, and will be published if acceptable.

The contest ends at 11:59 p.m. EST on Sunday, February 1. You’ve got less than a week. Go!
