My favorite genre is scary/sad with a tiny thread of hope, so I really liked this one.

My New Year’s resolution was to have my first piece of fiction published in 2025, and wow! My first story placed 4th in the Flash Monster contest at @molotovlitzine.bsky.social Read it along with the other winners!! 👻

Happy Halloween! If you’re in the mood for some folk-horror sci-fi, check out my story “In Darkness” out today and free to read in @molotovlitzine.bsky.social. #FlashMonster 2025 themolotovcocktail.com/vol-16/flash...

Happy Halloween! Sharing in case anyone else wants to celebrate with a piece of tiny horror.

Congrats again to all of our winners! And congrats to everyone who entered… Because you showed up and wrote a story…and, damnit, you should be proud of yourself. I’m sure we will see many of these stories published elsewhere—because it’s always really difficult to narrow down to a top 10.

Ah!! 👻🎃🐍 The best Halloween treat!! My story, "Viper Tooth," will be included in Molotov Cocktail's Flash Monster issue tomorrow. Thank you so much, @molotovlitzine.bsky.social! So excited to read the whole issue. Congrats to all!

After a sleepless night with a toddler, placing 3rd in @molotovlitzine.bsky.social’s Flash Monster competition was better than any cup of coffee. Can’t wait to read everyone’s pieces when the issue drops tomorrow!

I WON FIRST PLACE!!!

Holy moley I can’t believe my little eye maggot made it in!!

Honored to place 2nd in The Molotov Cocktail’s #FlashMonster 2025 contest. Check out my story “In Darkness” when the Flash Monster Mega-Issue drops tomorrow!

Out of the money, but still included in the Flash Monster Mega-Issue! So excited! Congratulations to everyone! 👹👺👾🧌

I always look forward to the latest Flash Monster edition of The Molotov Cocktail. Winners and titles have been announced; can't wait for the issue itself!
