Congratulations to the winners of the October 2025 Writing Contest!
Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their work to the October Writing Contest. The theme was HORROR, THRILLER, SUPERNATURAL, PARANORMAL, or SPOOKY.
I was thrilled to review the work of a large percentage of new participants as well as welcome the submissions of some Underground Bookshelf regulars. I'm so happy to see this community grow and develop! I enjoyed reading everyone's work and hope you will all submit again in the future. I also encourage you to come back throughout the month to read one another's work (and maybe even comment on it). Writing is a rewarding, but often lonely craft, and we can learn from and support one another in this and other community spaces.
I'll be featuring certain pieces from this month's contest during the upcoming month, but if you participated through Booksie, Wattpad, or Neobook, you can use the hashtag, #flashfictionfun to find and read one another's work.
October Winners:
• "The Requiem of Roses" by 000anamika000
• "The Nightmare" by Arushi Kashyap
• "The Ticket Master" by Yvonne Aore
