Spooky Southington Writing Contest
In October 2023, Southington residents of all ages were encouraged to submit an original spooky story to our 1st annual library-wide writing contest.
In October 2024, we put out the call again for the spookiest Southington based stories our patronage could come up with. With that, we were able to publish another amazing volume of spooky stories.
Below you will find the complete collection of stories compiled in Spooky Southington Vol. 1 & Spooky Southington Vol. 2. Physical copies of the volumes can be found in our local author section on the second floor of the library.
Spooky Southington Vol. 1 can be found here
Spooky Southington Vol. 2 can be found here
And now the time has come again!
In October 2025, Southington residents of all ages are encouraged to participate in our 3rd annual Spooky Southington writing contest!
This year, we've added a new twist! Winners of each of the categories will not only win prizes and be published in the 3rd annual Spooky Southington, but this year, winners will also be published in our first annual Spooky CT!
We have asked libraries around CT to host their own town specific spooky story contest and all the winners from each participating library will be published in a "best of" volume called Spooky CT.
Please submit your spooky, wonderful stories here!
