Honorable Mention, Fall 2022
Over the course of Halloween, we’ll publish the winner and three honorable mentions in the Fall 2022 Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award contest. The honorable mention pieces—of which English writer Iqbal Hussain’s “Look Not Backwards” is one—are not ranked. They’re all equal, and all equally riveting. This story is set in rural Pakistan, and deals with a particularly horrifying—and vengeful—folkloric entity. Click here to read “Look Not Backwards.” And keep checking back with us through the Day on Halloween for the remaining unpublished honorable mention piece—and our fall contest’s top tale.
