So I’m going to guess that #NonDenominationalAdventInJanuary will probably turn out to be a one-time thing! We started out this time with the best of intentions but suddenly it’s the end of the month and, well, here we are.

Next year, should we have a Short Story Advent Calendar, or a bookish advent calendar of any kind, December will be the month in which we can properly open and enjoy its contents.

But to close this/last year’s #SSAC in one fell swoop, we bring you one final omnibus post, Days 17 through 25:

• Day 17 – “Dearest Clara” by Lori Hahnel

• Day 18 – “The Skin of a Teenage Boy Is Not Alive” by Senaa Ahmad

• Day 19 – “Reindeer” by Cynan Jones

• Day 20 – “Moving Parts” by John Elizabeth Stintzi

• Day 21 – “Markheim” by Robert Louis Stevenson

• Day 22 – “Family Weekend” by Jessica Francis Kane

• Day 23 – “Olive Oyl” by Lucy Ellmann

• Day 24 – “An Exciting Christmas Eve” by Arthur Conan Doyle

• Day 25 – “A Present for Big Saint Nick” by Kurt Vonnegut

Happy Reading!
