The Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award

The Ghost Story Supernatural Fiction Award competition for short stories incorporating a supernatural or magic realist theme or element is now open to submissions.

The Ghost Story is currently celebrating its 10th year of running their biannual contests for supernatural/magic realist fiction that features fine writing and fresh ideas.

U.S. $1,500 plus publication for the winner; U.S. $300 and publication to each of two honorable mentions.
