One Reading, One Story

Featuring “Zombie,”
(a coming of age tale like no other.)

While hanging out in the local cemetery, two young girls make a friend like none they ever could have imagined.

Instead of going to a movie, or watching a television show, come hear a story, in full, from beginning to end.

Have a glass of wine while you sit back and listen. Stay after for mingling and conversation.

Remember, being read to reduces stress levels and increases your attention span. Turn off your phone. Give up on the screen. Exercise your attention span, and enjoy some long-form art: LITERATURE.

“Zombie” provides a preview of the upcoming collection of short fiction, “Things To Do When You’re Goth in the Country,” by Chavisa Woods, upcoming from Seven Stories Press, January, 2017.
