Deadline for the Spring contest is April 30, with an online publication date of June 1. Look here for complete guidelines and access to our electronic submissions system.

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 American writer Demetrius Buckley’s “Heard Of A Power” is one—are not ranked. They’re all equal, and all equally riveting. Mr. Buckley is an incarcerated writer, and his unsettling magic realism story takes place within the walls of a prison.
