Four Supernatural Reads For Fall

We received a record number of submissions in the Fall 2023 Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award competition, and from those hundreds of stories, we selected a winner and three Honorable Mentions. These tales span an array of imaginative takes on the supernatural: We’ve got a good-looking golem, a family of athletic jinn, a smoldering grandfather ghost, and an alien seduction and abduction. And of course, we invite you have a look. As always, each story comes with a custom illustration by Andy Paciorek.

Enjoy. Our next contest will be the Screw Turn Flash Fiction Competition, which opens to submissions on December 1, with the winner and Honorable Mentions published on Valentine’s Day.
