Synopsis

Welcome to the second Marathonarium Anthology of short stories! This project reflects the spirit of the Imaginarium Convention, whose mission statement is the following:

“To foster and inspire imagination, one creative at a time. Create and make your world everything you imagine it to be.”

The Imaginarium Convention embraces and celebrates all forms and genres of creative writing, and this anthology showcases that comprehensive approach.

The short stories within this anthology are the result of a creative journey that began on Thursday, July 18th, of 2024, on the eve of the 11th Imaginarium Convention.

Writers of many styles and genres gathered togehter for a marathon writing session of three hours in length. All of the participants were encouraged to tell the story that they wanted to tell; there were no restrictions on genre, there was no common theme, nor were there any parameters on the voice the story had to be told in.

The stories were completed and edited in the months that followed, and the result is a group of tales that will entertain, captivate, provoke thought, stoke the imagination, thrill, and engage readers of a broad range of fiction!

Discover a highly talented group of up-and-coming writers dedicated to the craft of writing and the art of storytelling in Marathonarium II, and never forget…Your Imagination is the Foundation!
