Halloween Challenge

 

Abandoned places.

For our annual Halloween Challenge, we asked you for stories about abandoned places. We received  dozens of tales that spanned that spectrum! Thank you to every author who participated and submitted to our challenge. It was a delight reading all of your entries, and we know that it will be even more delightful for you to read the winners.
