Our Inspired Illustrator

Our editor keeps editing, and our illustrator, Andy Paciorek, keeps illustrating, all with the goal in mind of having 21st Century Ghost Stories—Volume I, in readers’ hands by August.

The image above is just one of the many illustrations Andy has already produced for our anthology of supernatural stories that won or received honorable mentions in The Ghost Story Awards fiction competitions between 2015 and February, 2018. The ghostly figure, of course, is that of jazz great Louis Armstrong, whose spirit plays a prominent role in Gene Bryan Johnson’s short story, “Negroes Anonymous,” winner of the summer, 2016, Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award.
