In June 2009, writers everywhere were issued a challenge – to write an epic story in under 1000 words.
They were challenged to write about what hides in the darkness, what’s creeping behind the corner or even under the bed. Creatures of the Night holds 19 stories from 14 established and break out authors from all over the USA, UK and Canada. I have the great pleasure to introduce them to you today.

Please join me in congratulating them all. More information about these fabulous authors and their intriguing tales can be found on the AXP book page for Creatures of the Night.
The authors also want the world to know that there is more than just shadows lurking in the night, and to help them do this we are holding a very special online book launch on October 31st. Check back for more information on this special event.
And don’t forget, the Flash Fiction Challenge is now a quarterly event. The next challenge opens on December 1st with an entertaining new theme. Be sure to check it out.
