Horror Flash Fiction – A Taste for Life

There’s a new flash fiction story by Patrick Freivald over at Flash Fiction Online that you should really check out, especially if you like it when your stories come with a healthy dose of creepiness.  It’s called A Taste for Life…

“And how old were you when you died, Mister Beauchamp?” Joan Rothman asked, leaning back [...]

Werewolf Story — Statistical Evidence

The flash fiction story, Statistical Evidence by Hugh Cook, begins:
“‘Another bloody werewolf!’ said Doctor Blix. Where the hell were they all coming from? ‘Okay, give him the usual, and I’ll take a look at him tomorrow.’
This was worrying. So far, the only thing they had found which could control lycanthropy was Voodozlin-X, and their stocks were [...]

It Pays to Eat at McDonalds

I am a Justin Hyde fan.  He writes killer poetry and strange stories.  Here is an excerpt from one of the latter, called It Pays to Eat at McDonald’s:

Needle! Now! Broken!

Wow.  Needle! Now! Broken! by Brett Allen Smith is a short story written in a very different and very cool style.  Me like.  You read:

Mystorypage.com is one guy’s flash fiction, micro fiction, and graphic fiction.  He doesn’t post his name, but his email says Giles.  Here’s a story told in 100 words called “The Sale”:
“Nice car! Can I buy it?” He asked.
“Now?” I say.
“Now, including everything in it. I’ll pay you double what it’s worth.”
I look around the car, [...]

There Can Only Be One

The sister site to this one, the A Bunch of Wordz 2 Literary Blogazine, has died.  Or rather, I killed it.  It just wasn’t taking off, while this site has been.  I’m also in talks with b5media to do a blog for their Beauty & Style channel (yay!), so it just made sense to put my time [...]

It’s Not Chick Porn

Dionne Galace’s It’s Not Chick Porn is a great blog with similar content to A Bunch of Wordz:  randomness with an emphasis on literature.  There are writing contests and some original stories posted, along with book reviews and guest authors.  My favorite category is studmuffins.  Dionne has an awesome About Me page:
“…I started a blog [...]
