We are a loving community that proudly supports horror writers from ALL backgrounds, tropes and genres. Whatever your tastes: we do not judge.
That’s why The Ghosties is anonymous. Whether you’re a first time writer, or traditionally published, our readers won’t know the difference. It’s all about good writing, heart and of course… great horror.
Get involved and discover our generations next great horror talent!
The Ghosties Prize is unique.
Authors will submit anonymously, and anonymous readers will vote for their favourite story and give feedback. Your work will also be reviewed on social media by our community, but remember… your name will not be attached to it.
When submissions close on Sep 1st, the top-voted stories will enter a final round of judging. The judges will be selected randomly from the horror-reading community. Once the final round of judging is complete, the top three stories will win a prize.
We all love to read horror, and some of us love to write horror… but what counts is that we all love horror and want to see the genre grow!
