SPOOKY STORIES

Hi all. Finding short stories with 'punch' is not easy. I hear storytellers with compelling voices, whose stories fall flat at the very end. Everyone expects a good twist as the finale and it is always disappointing when everything peters out with an anticlimax. Writing short stories is the same. I find spooky stories often lend themselves to a good finale. In my book of short stories, TALL TALES, there are five such stories which have an 'other worldly' element. More recently, I have written ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY, not yet published anywhere. This is a ghost story of revenge. I read this out at an open mic night and was gratified when members of the audience feared nightmares after hearing it. Another I am working on is ME AND MY SHADOW where spooky shadows have a mind of their own! Bye for now. Julie
