A winner and two runners-up will be picked, for possible publication in a collection. Further details to be announced on finalisation of the final selection.

What we're looking for:
The SA HorrorFest Bloody Parchment team is looking for short stories novellas that fall under the horror and dark fantasy/SF genres. If it's dark, we're interested.
