2020 Spooky Story Contest Best in Show

Happy Halloween from Old Town Books! Earlier this week, we hosted a live conclusion to our inaugural spooky story writing contest. After working on their pieces of flash fiction throughout the month of October, with the help of some Instagram prompts along the way, contest participants were invited to take part in a live Zoom event. The top five finalists performed readings of their pieces for the gathered audience, who then voted to declare a winner.
