Ah!! 👻🎃🐍 The best Halloween treat!! My story, "Viper Tooth," will be included in Molotov Cocktail's Flash Monster issue tomorrow. Thank you so much, @molotovlitzine.bsky.social! So excited to read the whole issue. Congrats to all!

Congrats again to all of our winners! And congrats to everyone who entered… Because you showed up and wrote a story…and, damnit, you should be proud of yourself. I’m sure we will see many of these stories published elsewhere—because it’s always really difficult to narrow down to a top 10.

Thank you!!
