Rural Writing

The local paper is now drip-feeding us the results of their Summer Short Story Competition, which I didn’t enter, thinking my tales of aliens and monsters wouldn’t be even be in the vicinity of their alley, let alone up it. Last year’s results helped me form that opinion.

However, one should never assume. For lo and behold, the third runner-up in the junior section this year is a yarn about a man, a library, an old book, midnight chanting, a mirror, a demon and lots dead bodies.

It looks a lot like spec fic to me.
