Page 71: OSSE Winner, All On St. Mark’s Eve by Rick Kennett and The Day Hypnotism Died by Kevin David Anderson

Posted in Horror, Kevin Anderson, OSSE, Rick Kennett, Short Story on June 20, 2010 by dunesteef

Two stories for you this time. First the champion of last year’s October Scary Story Event, “All on St. Mark’s Eve,” tells of a town’s legend of finding out who will die in the upcoming year, and a couple all too eager to find out if someone in particular is on the list.
Then, a bonus additional story. “The Day Hypnotism Died,” recounts one particular night in the lives of four teenage boys, and the performance that would change each of them forever.

Also, Big and Rish talk about their own experiences with–and thoughts on–hypnotism.

Special thanks to Julie Hoverson, John Riendeau, and Bryan Lincoln for lending their voices to today’s episode.

Symantha didn’t come down for breakfast today. Someone else came in her place. Someone in Symantha’s clothes, acting like she does, even talking like she would. Although she claims she’s Symantha, it’s obviously just a prank. Isn’t it? bloopers

Broken Mirror Story Event 2010

Posted in Administrative, BMSE on May 7, 2010 by dunesteef

Between May 7th and June 7th, 2010, write a short story based on the following premise:
Story Chat
A CHILD IS PROCLAIMED KING (OR QUEEN), BUT IT TURNS OUT TO BE MORE THAN JUST A GAME.

This story can be any genre and of any length. However, our podcast usually buys Horror, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy stories, and we prefer stories longer than five hundred words.

A couple of rules:

  1. No multiple submissions, please. If you have more than one take on this idea, only send us the one you feel is best.
  2. Seriously, write the story between May 7th and June 7th, based on the idea we’ve presented. You can always rewrite an old story and present it as though it’s new, but if you do this, at least have the decency to lie about it.
  3. In the subject line of your email, mention that this is for the Broken Mirror Story Event (or the BMSE/BME).
  4. Even though the event ends on June 7th, we would rather get a complete, proofread story a couple of days late than a rushed story with typos and errors on June 5th.

Send the completed story in the body of an email to submissions(at)dunesteef.com (replacing the “at” with @. Thanks for participating and being a creative person!
