There is only one month left to submit your best fiction for a chance at $2000 + publication + correspondence from our esteemed judge. Our 2015 winner, “Linger Longer” was just selected for a ghost story anthology edited by horror’s best editor, Ellen Datlow, and our 2016 winner “Night Beast” will appear in Ruth Joffre’s debut collection, out from Grove Atlantic next year.
Judged by BRIAN EVENSON. The winning story receives $2000 + publication, and a note from our judge on why the story was chosen. Second and third place stories earn $200 and $100, respectively, publication, and correspondence from our judge.
