The Solstice Shorts festival celebrates the shortest day of the year (which is also Short Story Day), with stories, poems, and songs to an appropriate theme. In 2015, that theme was 'Longest Night', in 2016, it was 'Shortest Day', and was celebrated (appropriately) with flash fiction. These are the combined stories and poems for both events.

Shortest Day, Longest Night “is a collection of twenty-three stories and thirty-four poems, taken from the Solstice Shorts Festival. The writers deftly explore delicate and touching themes, including religion, birth and darkness. Under the arc of transitional days and nights, the pieces edited by Cherry Potts offer a glimpse into intriguing and mysterious timelines.
. . . The Shortest Day stories are beautifully crafted. . . I found the poetry in Shortest Day, Longest Night to be equally as stirring . . .
Overall, the short stories and poems in Shortest Day, Longest Night turn thematic conventions on their heads. Whether it be mental health, religion or family relationships, the poets and authors in this collection offer fresh and innovative perspectives on universal matters. Taken from the Solstice Shorts Festival 2015 & 2016, which celebrates both the shortest day of the year and Short Story Day, the fifty-seven pieces in this collection truly put some of the finest talent on display."
