This time we are going to shake things up.

Each month the incredible community of horror readers and writers will vote on the monthly theme.

You! That's right, you get to decide on theme!

How fun is that?

AUGUST'S THEME:

"THE HOUSE WON'T LET ME DIE"

Next, once the theme has been selected, each contestant will submit a horror flash fiction story between 500 to 1000 words.

No more. No less.

• NO EROTICA
• NO HATE SPEECH
• NO SCENES OF RAPE / GRAPHIC TORTURE
• Only ONE entry per writer / per month.
• The same writer can win in MULTIPLE MONTHS so please enter every month!
• I retain the right to exclude any submitted story based on personal preference.

Each month FIVE amazing entries will be selected. Those entries will be collected and published in the upcoming

FLASHES OF DARKNESS: AN ANTHOLOGY OF HORROR FLASH FICTION Vol. 2

The GRANDPRIZE WINNER each month, the story I personally thought was the best of the bunch, will receive a prize pack of SIGNED PAPERBACKS from the very talented and very impressive FEATURED AUTHORS of that particular month.

All entries MUST BE SUBMITTED by following the link and filling out the CONTEST ENTRY FORM.

There is NO FEE however I would kindly ask that you SHARE this link to anyone who you feel might benefit from it!

All entries MUST BE SUBMITTED BEFORE MIDNIGHT (EST) on the last day of the month.

But the fun doesn't stop there! At the end of this month we are going to do something we have never done at the contest before...

At the end of the month you the readers are going to...

VOTE ON THE WINNERS!

That's right! You, dear reader, will decide who gets published!

With great power, comes great responsibility - so choose wisely!
