Welcome to the Second Annual Spherewide Short Story Symposium! I know, it hardly seems like it's been a year since the first (uhhh...), but it's that time again. I solicited scary stories, but of course every story submitted has been included -- I'll just stick the scary ones on top. You know the system: links go back to the authors' sites, and you can leave your comments there. Please leave any comments about the S4 itself down below.

Without further ado:

"The Hidden City", by Chris Noble -- and he's first to submit a story for the second time in a row.

"Yazidis Needed?", by Andrew Ian Dodge -- be sure to click on the continued link to read the whole thing.

"Boo", by that Stupid Evil Bastard, Les Jenkins.

"Midnight Snack", by Lee Zanello.

"Water's Edge", and "Monster House", by Michael Williams.

An as-yet untitled set of (fictional?) journal entries, by Christina Casillas.

"Mainstreaming", by the curmudgeonly Francis W. Porretto.

Randy Swanson offers up a large collection of fiction for your perusal.

Thanks everyone! These stories are really great, and I'm sure you'll all enjoy them... or else! Mwahahahahaha!

Ahem.
