Short Story Contest: A Vampire for Valentine's

 
Is that love in the air, or just more precipitation?  I’m going with love. We can always use that. In honor of Valentine’s Day, booksBnimble’s February/March contest theme will be “Romeo or Juliet as a vampire.” Just this once, in honor of the sweetness of the season,  you have a choice.  Either lover can be undead. Or you can make them both vampires–that could be raucous. But sexy’s good too. The deadline’s March 15, and the winner will be announced at the beginning in April. This is part of  our 2011 series of vampire contests, the winners of which we’ll publish as an anthology at the end of the year. Don’t forget  the best part:  Along with publication, there’s a $50 prize.  Rules at

While we’re at it, congratulations to Karla Henderson of Palmdale, Ca., winner of  our December/January contest. Her hilarious story, “Overbite,” which chronicles the life of Elvis as a vampire, can be enjoyed along with a short interview with  the writer herself at:

For the really intrepid among you, we have a second contest, but so far nobody’s ever had the nerve to enter it.  It requires an imagination, at least one pet, a video camera, and a ton of patience. If you think you qualify, click here http://www.booksbnimble.com/contests/vidlet-instructions/
