Thousand Word Thrills: Short Story Collection

One thousand words. One week. Thirty-seven thrilling stories.

When writers from across the globe accepted a seven-day challenge to craft gripping short thrillers, the results were jaw-dropping. From Dating Disasters and Neighborhood Nightmares to Spooky Season scares, these stories pack maximum suspense into minimal words.

For many of these authors, this was their first time putting words to page... and now their stories are in your hands. Fresh voices. Shocking twists. Utterly addictive.

Fair warning: you'll find yourself muttering "just one more story," and before you know it, you'll have devoured them all.

Part of the Author: Unlocked initiative, celebrating new voices in thriller fiction.
