Seventeen Stories to Fascinate, Terrify, and Delight!

Picture
The Annual Writers of the Future Anthology never ceases to deliver amazing stories from new talent.

Having received an Honorable Mention myself for a submission this last year, I don't envy the judges their task of sifting through thousands of entries each quarter to select the top twelve. 

The Cover gives away the overall flavor of the collection and It's pretty fantastic!
