Andy Paciorek’s Illustration for Maura Stanton’s Short Story, “House Ghosts”—Winner of the Fall, 2015 Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award
Are You Ready For Volume One?
Much of the recent attention from readers and contest participants has been on Volume 2 of 21st Century Ghost Stories—and for good reason. The Winner and two Honorable Mentions in the current Supernatural Fiction Award competition will be published in this second volume, which is scheduled for publication by Wyrd Harvest Press in 2021. In fact, between now and October 31, 2021, all winners and honorable mentions in both Ghost Story contests—the biannual Fiction Award and our annual Flash Fiction Competition—will be slated for publication in Volume 2.
However, we’re excited to remind you that Volume One will be out in just a few months, and it will contain all the stories that were winners, or won honorable mentions, from the summer of 2015 through the winter of 2018. In all, that’s 29 full-length short stories and flash fiction pieces for your reading enjoyment.
Not only are we currently editing and designing Volume One, but British illustrator Andy Paciorek has been busy creating a visual interpretation of each piece. The illustration above is a good example of what you’ll see throughout our upcoming anthology. We can’t wait until a copy is in our hands. . . .
