FLASH ON THE FLY

A Flash Fiction Horror Writing Contest

How quickly can you go from reading the open call to submitting a story? Can you do it in 2 days?

From the time the horror subgenre and theme are announced, writers have 48-hours to conceive, write, and submit a flash fiction story. One winning story will receive a $50 cash prize and publication on the Death Knell Press website (non-exclusive contract. Author retains all rights to the story). No fee to enter.

Our special holiday contest window is closed to submissions. Winner will be announced by December 22, 2023. Subscribe below for updates.
