Wee Small Hours is Clocking Out

Wee Small Hours -- the online fiction challenge, responding to creative writing prompts plucked from my weekly column in Hellnotes newsletter -- has gone on hiatus. Read the final (?) entry (Bev Vincent's excellent story, "Therapy") while it's still available free online. Bev wrote a very grim, very moving, tale! I just wanted to say how proud I was to be the instigator for WSH.

HAIKRUEL CONTEST RESULTS

I received many excellent entries for the Goreletter's "Mess Up My Fridge" contest last month. Now my refrigerator is truly damned. So many strange entries came in that I couldn't just pick one winner...but FOUR, which all tied for first place.
