What's Next?
The winning stories will be published online throughout October, starting with Costume Change by Alex Lubertozzi on October 8. We will continue publishing these stories every Friday (Thursday for email subscribers).
We will also be publishing a digital collection that will feature the winning stories plus the honorable mentions (if they want to be included). This collection will be made available on Kindle and other platforms near the end of the month!
Thanks, again, to all of you who participated!
In lieu of a new story this week, we're republishing a Halloween Double Feature by contest guest judge and two-time fall story contest winner, Christopher Stanley.
