BOULD* Awards 2020 Short Story Anthology Jake Devlin

Are you an adventurous, daring reader? Like to explore new frontiers? If so, this one's for you.

In this third annual edition, you'll find 53 of the weirdest, most outrageous, wackiest, scariest, puzzlingest (is that really a word?) short stories submitted for this anthology in 2020. (There were 21 in the 2018 edition, 40 in 2019, all selected by a panel of independent judges.)

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be shocked, scared, and maybe even perflutzed by some of the stories you'll find, in many different genres and styles. But with nearly every story, we know you'll be surprised.

We expect the 2021 edition to be BOULDer (no relation to the city in Colorado), and that'll raise the bar even higher for the 2022 edition. We might wind up changing "Limitless" to "Loopy" if writers can really let their inhibitions go and let their haywire creativity

But now it's time for you to quit reading these promo bits, brace yourself and dig in. Have fun!
