Oh No it Isn't!

One of four anthologies we plan to publish for Christmas.​​

A collection of stories celebrating that most British of Christmas traditions - the pantomime.  Your story could be about the production of a pantomime, it could mirror the narrative of the panto itself, or it could be something surreal where the panto characters are real.  The only limit is your imagination...
