It's all about Halloween at the moment - as is right and correct. There are loads of comps/anthos out there but the ones that tickle my synapses are:
- Erin Cole's Of The Night Contest
Win a copy of Erin's short story collection Of The Night. Closes 31 October. - Jeremy C. Shipp's Attic Toys Anthology (Evil Jester Press)
Payment: 1 cent per word + 1 contributor copy. Closes 'Halloween'. - Thrillers Killers 'n' Chillers Hellicious Halloween
The best will be published between 31 October and 06 November. Closes 25th October.
I've something brewing for the first two, and collecting entries for the last.
Now down to Prediction business (can you tell I'm procrastinating? By gumbo this is a hard week)
Winners of Last Week's Prediction
Outstanding! Excruciatingly powerful words from such talented writers. You are cruel, you hear me? Cruel.
My winner from last week is Phil Ambler with Host. It takes a lot to seriously creep me out; this did it - in waves. How you've achieved that extreme sense of disquiet in 100 words... well, that is talented writing indeed. Congratulations Phil..
I have two runners-up: they are very different to each other and unusual for The Prediction challenge too. Very well done to Absolutely*Kate for her clever and cheeky EXTRA! EXTRA! Also to Chris Allinotte for his charming and strange poem Newspaper Hat.
