What are your Hidden City’s stories? Thanks for visiting the Novels of the Hidden Cities website! You will have noticed the map upon which is pinned brief accounts of myth and mystery from around the world … and that’s where you come in. Because we want you to tell us your stories. Relate to us the strange tales of urban horror, mystery or magic that have happened to you, or people you know, or perhaps stories you’ve heard second-hand. Ghosts you have seen, legends you’ve heard, strange experiences you have had … and the accounts we like the most will appear on the site, pinned to the map where they took place. The details: Please keep your submissions below 500 words, and make sure there’s some basis in fact (whether it’s something you saw, or an urban legend you’ve heard, etc). No straight fiction. There’s no payment, other than the fun of revealing your nightmare experiences for all to see! There’s also no guarantee that everything we’re sent will be posted to the site. You’ll retain full copyright, and you’re welcome to use your accounts elsewhere. The Competition: The first novel in this series, MIND THE GAP, will be released from Bantam Spectra on 20th May 2008, and the best two accounts we receive between now and then (to be judged by Chris & Tim) will each win a copy of the hardback Cemetery Dance limited edition of this novel! So tell us what happened to you in the world’s Hidden Cities … Submissions should be sent to: citieshidden@thehiddencities.com
