A quick note here, as I am writing this from my seat on a Concord Trailways bus, heading home after a 10-day research assignment in the Swedish arctic. The winner and two honorable mentions in the Summer 2026 Screw Turn Flash Fiction Competition are now available for your reading pleasure. Have a look. As for everyone who entered and didn’t win . . . I haven’t yet had time to contact you all individually, as I usually do. I promise to get to that over the next couple of days. Thanks to all of you who participated; it was a great group of stories, and competition was intense. Finally, we will begin accepting submission to the Fall 2026 Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award tomorrow, August 1. The deadline for our full-length fiction contest is September 30, with the winners announced and published on Halloween.
