Stay at Castle Dracula (Restrictions May Apply): and Other Short-Short Stories

By Jim Nemeth

Many of you may not know of drabbles. No, not those cute, furry little creatures from Star Trek-those are tribbles. A drabble is a form of fiction consisting of exactly 100 words. No, not 100 chapters nor paragraphs nor even lines. 100 words. Exactly. Needless to say, such stories are a very hard sell to publishers.

Even among authors, drabbles seem to be the "black sheep" of fiction as I'm aware of very few writers who, if I may be excused the pun, "dabble in drabbles." And understandably so. It's difficult. And yet, drabbles are where I feel most at home. Drabbles come far easier to me than allowing me the luxury of thousands of words to tell a story.

And when it comes to fiction genres, horror is my other "home." And so, collected here, you'll find a good number of my 100-word "children of the night." Along with three additional stories where I allowed myself to splurge and go wild with close to 200 and even 300 words
