Twelve Days Anthology - The winning stories

Yesterday saw the Dark Fiction Magazine team working on the final selection for the Twelve Days Christmas Anthology. We had many excellent submissions sent in over the past couple of weeks, making yesterday a day for tough decisions and close calls.

Thanks to everyone who sent in a story. We appreciate the time and effort you put in, and are delighted to know that people are keen to be a part of Dark Fiction Magazine. A special thank you must go to Jason Baki and Amanda Rutter, the Dark Fiction Magazine slush readers. These guys, in addition to their jobs and running their own blogs, have worked hard to read through every submission and give us invaluable insight into the final selection.

And so to the winners.

It’s Just A Game – Neil Benyon
Wintermachine – Scott Harrison
