During the winter of 2019/20, the Museum of Walking invited people to submit a chilling flash writing piece of 250 words (or under) inspired by the theme of winter chill. They were looking for stories or creative non-fiction that thrilled the reader through mystery, crime or horror and the winning stories do just that, twisting our perceptions of witches, unravelling criminal mindsets and exploring unusual phenomena. Prepare to be unnerved.
The winning stories from the competition were judged by NG Bristow (screenwriter, director and visual artist running the MA in Directing Fiction at Goldsmith’s, University of London), Rebekah Lattin-Rawstrone (author, editor and tutor on the Novel Studio at City, University of London) and Andrew Stuck (Founding Director of the Museum of Walking).
