Invitation to Murder (1991) Anthology by Ed Gorman, Martin H. Greenberg (ed. Sun77)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.6Mb
Overview: The best ideas are usually the simple ones.
Case in point: this anthology. Each of the eighteen contributors was given the same ultra-basic plot element—the body of a young woman is found in her apartment—and asked to write a story in which that element plays some sort of pivotal role. The contributor was to make use of the component as he or she saw fit: as a starting place, or included somewhere in the body of the story, or saved for the end; as a case of murder, suicide, accidental death, even a supernatural or unearthly happening; as an event that happens on stage or off, in the past or present or future. No restrictions, no taboos. Any type of story, at any length up to 10,000 words, with any tone or slant or message.
