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 together 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 restriction on genre, there was no common theme, nor were thereany parameters on the voice the story had to be told in.

The stores 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!

The Pixie Job by Kathy L. Brown

Sean Joye’s first out-of-town paranormal investigator job finds him in a small lead-mining community. The mine owner claims his house is infested with pixies, but Sean has his doubts the problem is that simple.

The Marathonarium was conceived by award-winning author and editor Sandy Lender, who helmed the first event as editor back at Imaginarium 2023. Sandy set the foundation for something truly unique and wonderful.

About the Author

Kathy L. Brown lives in St. Louis, Missouri, USA and writes speculative fiction with a historical twist. Her hometown and its history inspire her fiction. When she’s not thinking about how haunted everything is, she enjoys hiking, crafts, and cooking for her family.

As a new college graduate, Kathy landed a job as a book editor, an ideal pairing of reading all day and being super-picky about small details. Those skills served her well in a subsequent (and better-paying) career as a medical researcher.

Her flagship book series is The Sean Joye Investigations, atmospheric supernatural noir stories set in the St. Louis area. The Resurrectionist and Water of Life and The Big Cinch are currently available. Kathy spent the pandemic lockdown polishing and publishing a secondary-world steampunk-tinged fantasy (with romance and wolf shifter fights!), Wolfhearted, available in e-book, paperback, and audiobook.
