Happy Halloween, everybody!

The celebrity panel of Cherie Priest, Jennifer Pelland, and Edmund Schubert has spoken.

1st Place – “Curve Balls in the Rift” by Durand Welsh

Runner Up – “Post Apocalypse” by James W. Langolf

The panel wanted to give Honorable Mentions to the following stories:
“Freak Museum” by Jackie Gamber
“Shiners” by Joel Arnold
“Pest Control” by Robby Sparks
“Charlie’s Voice” by Bev Vincent

Again, I’d like to thank Cherie Priest, Jennifer Pelland, and Edmund Schubert for taking the time to judge the finalists. A big thanks goes out to Gill Ainsworth who helped me read through 152 entries.

Naturally, the biggest thank you goes out to all the writers who submitted their stories. No doubt that this year was the best crop of entries yet.
