The Prologue Bookshop Short Story Machine is a highlight of our in-store experience! Check it out the next time you're in the store🌟⁠

For just 50 cents, you can grab your very own short story to read while perusing for books and other literary gifts in the store. Best of all, we've got a solid selection of stories in our machine, and each one is labeled with it's number - meaning you can work towards collecting them all!

We currently have more than forty stories that cycle through the machine, and we add new ones all the time, so you’re more than likely to get a new one each time you visit the store.

Note that while these stories are in a child-friendly machine, these stories are not specifically children’s stories. While stories are screened for language and content, they are sometimes a bit boring, sometimes a little scary, and sometimes a little old-fashioned. That said, each story is carefully screened for content and language, and most could be PG rated.
