Way back at the turn of the year we were contacted by Fantastic Books Publishing with a view to submitting professional contributions to a competition anthology for
Horror Fantabbles of exactly 666 words. Yeah, we thought... why not?
After much soul-searching and horror-filled days at the keyboard [neither are intended as puns] submissions were emailed, the silver spoons were returned to their velvet-lined boxes, and the garlic went in a curry.
The work of two members were picked: Stuart Aken with Ouija Board and Linda Acaster with Number Thirteen. Not, you understand, that members of Hornsea Writers promote clichéd titles.
Their stories join those of fellow professionals Regina Puckett, Nathan Robinson, Michael Brookes and John Scotcher, along with three prize-winning entries, two highly commended, and a host of other submissions in the anthology 666 to be launched during All Hallows Eve.
Ebook from Fantastic Books Publishing and paperback from Amazon.
Catch the launch event on Facebook Monday 31 October. Howling begins at 19:06 GMT [6 hours and 66 minutes after noon. Evidently]. Neither costumes nor cushions to hide behind are compulsory.

Be there AND be scared!
