Winning Fears

It’s the time you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to announce the winners of the Rusty Fears horror short story writing competition.

The response to our very first competition was staggering to say the least – you all delivered very enthusiastically to the tune of 94 entries! Thanks to everyone who submitted entries and spread the word. The judging panel (comprising Alex, Jonny & Anil) eventually narrowed it down to a shortlist of 10 and from those, after much deliberation, has chosen their winners… <<drumroll.wav»
