A few of us at Story Institute have known Andy for quite some time. We were thrilled to hear that he has release a new horror fiction book, The Spirit of Glassboro & Other Tales of Terror. If you are looking for that next good read, pickup a copy of Andy's new book on Amazon.

The Spirit of Glassboro & Other Tales of Terror is a collection of macabre short stories that will frighten the most stoic horror fiction fan.

The first short story, The Spirit of Glassboro, unleashes a new monstrous legend into Glassboro, NJ and the surrounding area of Rowan University so terrifying, even the Jersey Devil will stay away.

We had a few questions on the writing contest:

Have you checked out our Facebook page? Have you liked the page or commented on one of the posts? If you have, you'll be entered to win one of our writer-centered prizes. This month, it is a journal or pen set.

Story Institute is proud to announce our new writing contest for 2016!

Do you have a short story or poem that reflects on a memoir or memory?
Do you have a hope to be published online and in print?

If you answered yes to both of these questions, our new writing contest is for you. This year, we are calling our contest: Memoirs, building stories of our past and present

After the new year, visit us here at Story Institute for a new writing contest that could launch, extend, or cap a young writing career.

Here's a sneak peak into the topic for those who are interested or can not wait another 30 days:

Memoirs, building stories of our past and present

Maybe there's a connection with your NaNoWriMo novel…maybe, it's something completely different. Stay tuned…

Happy Holidays to all from Story Institute. Whether you are a new visitor, or an old friend, we extend our warmth and happiness to you at this special time of year. The holidays can provide some special stories for the writer in all of us.

Watch for those magical moments and connect with your muse as you share your thanks with your family, friends, and passers-by. Enjoy the season to its full extent. Even if times are a little tough, it takes you to help turn them around. Happy Holidays and continue to Imagine, Enhance, and Grow your stories into the new year!
