Contest Announcement: Darkness 101

Fall is here! It’s back to school time! And the start of Spooky Season! 

We’re also celebrating the release of Deluxe Darkness in September! Be sure to check it out and order your own copy September 7: three horror books in one: the Amazon bestselling Collective Darkness, Little Darkness, and the brand new book The Darkness Between.

To celebrate, Collective Tales Publishing is hosting a flash fiction contest during the month of September. The theme is “lessons were learned,” and this should include the word darkness. We also expect every submission to be exactly, precisely, and strictly 101 words. Any submission with a word count that is 102+ or fewer than 101 will be sent back to the author (not counting the title).

Winners and select runners-up will be published on our blog and shared on social media (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter).

First, second, and third place winners will receive a premium notebook courtesy of our sponsor: LeStallion Premium Notebooks, as well as an ebook copy of The Darkness Between. 

If we receive enough participation, we will consider publishing select entries in a future volume of our horror anthologies. 

Contest entrants may submit up to three pieces during September. Our judges will pick the winners in October.

Email CollectiveTalesPublishing@gmail.com with submissions. Good luck!
