A good place for horror writers. Why not enter a flash fiction contest?

 

Your July theme is...

Myths, Monsters, and Fantastic Folklore


Authors, we’re looking for fantastical tales of mythical monsters and legends from around the world.

Since this is a flash challenge, your word count is 1,000 words max. I'll personally read all the submissions and post the best 10 to 20 stories here on Patreon (to our $5 a month and higher tiers). Our patrons will then read all the entries, posted one per day, and vote for a winner.

The winner will receive 3c USD per word, publication in a future Crystal Lake publication (anthology or magazine), and an author spotlight in our newsletter and here on Patreon. Please email your submission in the body of an email to crystallakepub@gmail.com. Your email subject should be the title of your story. The deadline is end of June, whatever time zone you live in.

Until then, be sure to also check out OF MEN AND MONSTERS by Tom Deady, “A heartfelt, perfectly executed coming-of-age story about surviving trauma and what it means to be a monster”—Christopher Golden
