This is the standard edition slipcase of the calendar. For the special edition slipcase please go here. Like we always do at this time: the Short Story Advent Calendar is back for 2022. We had such a great time last year working with our first-ever guest editor, the one and only Alberto Manguel. This year, however, we’re bringing things back to basics. No overarching theme or format, just 25 top-class short stories, selected in-house, by some of the best writers in North America and beyond. Contributors to the 2022 Short Story Advent Calendar include: Venita Blackburn (How to Wrestle a Girl) Lucy Ellmann (Ducks, Newburyport) Steven Millhauser (Martin Dressler) Ander Monson (Predator: A Memoir, A Movie, An Obsession) John Elizabeth Stintzi (My Volcano) and 20 more! (This is a collection of literary, non-religious short stories for adults. For more information, visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.)
