Day 8 - Daniel

Daniel Shand took to the stage for day 8, with a gruesome, Roald Dahl-esque tale called 'A Ring on the Doorbell'. Put down your lunch and read it in full here.

Our annual Story Shop showcase presents new and emerging Edinburgh writers to audiences at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Every day of the festival, that's 17 in total, at 4pm in the Guardian Spiegeltent, a writer reads a story of compact beauty, for free. Story Shop is now in its fifth year, and we've got a stellar line up for each day of the festival 2012. Read all about them here and join us at 4pm each day until 27th August if you can!
