Brave Blue Mice

October Frightmare Contest

Gregory

We're not afraid of anything. That's what being brave is all about. But I'll bet some of you twisted folks out there know a tale or two that could get us to heebie our jeebies like Indiana Jones hanging over a pit of snakes. So send 'em in!

We're looking for creature features here. I don't want to hear about the time you walked in on your parents, unless you walked in on your parents battling an electric demon that came from your mom's possessed cellphone. Also, if you're going to go by the old standbys, try to give them that new bent. Double points for original monsters.

Contest deadline is the night before Halloween. The winner and runners up will be published in a special edition Halloween issue. For this contest I'm looking for original fiction, no reprints, between five hundred and four thousand words.

1st prize: $100 via PayPal

5 Runners Up: A copy of Permuted Press's MONSTROUS Anthology

Contest closes at midnight GMT-6 (Central Time) on October 30th! Get your gear in here!

Contest participants agree to grant Brave Blue Mice first world electronic distribution rights. Good luck!
