In honor of the spookiest of holidays, we’ve scared up a little Halloween-themed Mad Lib for all you ghosts and ghouls out there, care of a fright-tastic classic, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” Check Irving’s original, lib-less version here, and be sure to share your results with us! Give us your spookiest, your creepiest and kookiest!
Your donation helps writers, editors, reviewers, workshop leaders, and artists get paid for their work. If you’re enjoying what you read here, please consider donating to SmokeLong Quarterly today. We also give a portion of what we earn to the organizations on our "We Support" page.

We’re doing it again! We’re homing in on the micro: 100-word, 250-word, and 400-word stories. In March 2025 SmokeLong is hosting The March Micro Marathon, a 24-day workshop with a new writing task each day, peer review in small groups, 3 webinars, a reading and interview with Michelle Ross and the editors of 100 Word Story, and 3 competitions with cash prizes.
