Fourth time’s the charm.
The fourth annual Short Story Advent Calendar might have been our most ambitious yet, with a range of stories hailing from eight different countries and three different originating languages (don’t worry, we got the English versions). The 2018 edition featured a special diecut lid and textured case. We also set a new personal best for material that has never before appeared in print.
Contributors to the 2018 Short Story Advent Calendar included:
Kevin Barry (Beatlebone, City of Bohane)
Ben Greenman (What He’s Poised to Do, Don Quixotic)
Etgar Keret (Suddenly, a Knock on the Door)
R. O. Kwon (The Incendiaries)
Sara Levine (Treasure Island!!!)
and [REDACTED x 19]!
We were also excited to announce a limited run of 25 copies that featured a black slipcase with hand-drawn illustrations by Calgary-based artists Cam Hoff and Chris Pecora at Slugger Studio. These sets were each hand-numbered, signed by the artists, and one of a kind.
