Spontaneous Combustion Vol. II

by Michael Strand, T. Martin Crouse, Maxwell Reagan, Claudia Ionescu, Mike Lauer

Overview

Spontaneous Combustion is the classic "play-in-a-day" theater exercise in literary event form. We gather writers together, provide three story prompts, and give them 24 hours to compose a unique piece of pulp fiction. Our favorites are invited back to prose-slam their short stories for a public audience. In the end, everyone casts a vote and the people-chosen "Top Tales" are bound in the next volume. Awaiting you in Vol. II of this explosive literary tradition is a powderkeg of short fiction spanning multiple genres, from writers Maxwell Reagan, Claudia Ionescu, Mike Lauer, Nathan Sacks, D. Zane Davis, Stephanie Olson, Claire Hoy, Michael T. Johnson, Scott Burtness, Deidra Purvis, and Randy Holland. We call it a book-in-a-day. Prepare to spontaneously combust.
