Holiday Fiction: Away in a Basementnew
For New Times' annual Holiday Guide, our writers created original fiction ranging from 200 to 6,000 words in length. The stories were paired with original artwork from local artists, and we recorded the writers reading their stories, and uploaded the podcasts to our website, giving our readers the option to read or listen to the stories. Or both.
