The triumphant return of the always popular short story contest!

It's the 14th edition and it's spooky season, so we're hoping for plenty of horrible stories about the end of the world (happy stories about the end of the world also welcome and heartily encouraged.)

Time to stretch your creative muscles and write your very own post-apocalyptic short story. This is always a great night, and it's always nice to see what you creative bunch come up with. We will be in the snug at the Lass at usual.

Entries are now online for your viewing pleasure:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kM7mYXwpED-IUZJAQ8khpeBEjSMMhZ4g?usp=sharing

Entries can be up to 1500 words long (maximum, not a goal :P).

After the stories are read out on the night, we all vote anonymously on our favourites and the winner is covered in glory and will get a mystery prize (no guarantees, but it’s very likely to be book vouchers).

Prizes will only be available for those writers who attend on the night and only one prize will be available per writer.
If we get loads of entries we reserve the right to deputise some form of judging panel in order to limit the number of stories read out on the night to a reasonable number.

We’ll be looking for volunteers to read stories nearer the time. Listeners are also more than welcome to attend.

Making and bringing along cake is highly encouraged!

Old stories can be found in our kindle edition:

Happy post-apocalyptic writing everyone!
