Scary Story Contest at The Book Jewel

Have a creepy crawly story you’re dying to share? Westchester’s favorite independent bookstore, The Book Jewel, is holding its annual Scary Story Contest for kids seven to 12, teens and adults this month! Submit your original story to the Book Jewel by October 21 and get ready to read your Edgar Allan Poe-worthy tale to a haunted audience on October 28. Stories should be five minutes or less and while scary, should be family-appropriate.

For kids four to six, the store is hosting a Halloween Picture Contest with drawings due on October 21.

Winners in each age group will be awarded a gift card to the store. Get the full details on participating in the contests at thebookjewel.com. The shop is located at 6259 W. 87th St. in Westchester.
