The winner and an honorable mention for this year’s ghost story contest have been selected!
Here’s the report from the judge, Sandra Worth:
So nice to see so much talent! The stories were an amazingly good crop of entries and it was difficult to choose from amongst them, especially for Honorable Mention. I feel they were so good, they all deserved that. The winner of the contest wrote a story that was gripping the first time I read it, and also when I re-read it and knew what to expect. The winner also displayed a flawless grasp of fundamentals such as dialogue, structure, word choices, characters, point of view, all of which were expertly handled in a complex and tense story of time travel.
The winner is Innocent Ghost
I have also chosen Why, This is Hell for Honorable Mention.
