brevity is the soul of story: Hint Fiction

Robert Swartwood is a Pennsylvania writer editing an anthology of stories, open to all for submissions from August 1 - 31, 2009.

Each of these stories must be 25 words or less. It's called Hint Fiction.

See how close to the bone you can cut it.

the bitch is back

The stunning, striking Kristen McMenamy is back from huge 90s fame followed by obscurity, in a 30-page feature in July's Vogue Italia. Bravo.

the shuttered room

1967 - apart from being set in New England with some mysteriously deformed villagers, it's a great 60s British horror that has little to do with the Lovecraft story. Oliver Reed is a twisted joy to watch as he terrorises a young couple claiming their ancestral inheritance: a dilapidated millhouse which has secrets to tell. Particularly that upper room.

Carol Lynley is the perfect, kittenish ingenue returning to her childhood home. The girl can leave the village, but the village will reclaim the girl...

a new toy

ay-yay-yay...I wondered why the kids made fun when I dressed like her at Beckford Primary...

killing the primary colours

A great gig (if usual terrible sound at the Phoenix theatre).

An amazing new album - turns preconceptions about them on their heads. Every song turns out just the way you want it to. Sounds so new and throwback at the same time.

Died today at aged 78 in London. No more from this incredible mind is a sad thing...
