Sinister Story Showdown: A Horror Short Story Competition!

Illustration of a kid with a sinister facial expression, reading a magazine with a cover saying "Sinister Story Showdown" and showing a corpse crawling up out of a tomb. On the wall behind the kid are posters for horror movies, and looming in the window behind them is a hooded, skeletal figure with one eyeball and raised hands.

Submissions accepted until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, October 11th
