Do you have a tale of darkness to tell? Is there a creepy story lingering somewhere on your profile? 

Do you think it can be a winner?

Welcome to my contest, Stardust Wasteland. 

How does the contest work?

Pick one of your own stories that you think has what it takes to win. Post the link down below. You may only enter ONE story unless you tell me your favorite quote/part from All Lips Turn Blue in the comment section, then you can enter two stories. 

What sort of stories are eligible?

Horror. Paranormal. Gothic. Fairy-tale. Urban horror. Supernatural romance. Vampire. Anything from slightly scary to terrifying with one exception, no gore (light gore is ok). No slasher. All ratings are welcome. 

Is poetry ok?

Poetry is always ok. So, yes. 

How long does the story or poem have to be?

It can be as long or as short as you want. I will only be judging the first 3000 words.  (If you're writing flash fiction and it's a sentence long, that's fine. If you have a 90k story, that's fine.)

Who can take part?

Everyone! The contest is open worldwide.

What is the prize?

A signed paperback copy of my book, Goblin Garden (a collection of Gothic poetry). 

When does the contest start/end?

It starts right now and it ends 17th of November. The winner will be announced on the 18th of November. Please note that you must be able to give me your address by the 21st of November at the latest to be able to get your prize.
