1000 Words: A Collection of Short Stories

By Stephanie Flint and Stephanie Bibb

Note: All but one of these stories is available elsewhere for free elsewhere in ebook format. This book is only about 10,000 words in length. However, each of the book covers included are in full color. "1000 Words" is a collection of ten short stories, each approximately one thousand words in length. They range from science fiction and fantasy, to adventure and horror. Each short story is accompanied by its own book cover. This was a capstone project meant to merge photographic illustration with creative writing.
