It was a dark and stormy night at Milner Library when the library staff challenged campus to a Two Sentence Horror Story Contest.
Exercise those creative muscles and challenge yourself to tell the scariest story you can, in 400 characters or less. Submit your best two-sentence horror story by Friday, October 28, at 11:59 p.m. to be entered into a contest to win Milner swag. The first prize wins one of our coveted Ange Milner bobble heads.
Horror story submissions may be about any terrifying topic but must be two sentences and 400 characters or less in length. Stories will be voted upon as a blind review (with identifying information removed) by library staff. Winning stories will be shared on Milner Library’s social media October 31. Submit stories online.
Contest Rules
- Participants must be a current ISU student or employee.
- Entries must be submitted by Friday, October 28, at 11:59 p.m.
- Participants may submit multiple stories but are only eligible for one prize.
- Stories that do not adhere to the two-sentence, 400 characters-or-less rule will be disqualified.
- Stories must be the participants’ original work.
Please email Milner Library Dean Dallas Long at dlong@IllinoisState.edu with any contest questions. Happy haunting!
