Ghosts, ghouls and goblins aren’t just for Halloween anymore.
For those of you who like a little darkness in your holiday celebration, get ready for the 12 Days of Creepfest!
From December 13 to 24, you can visit a community of author blogs who pen tales that tempt and terrify!
Whether you have a penchant for horror, dark fantasy, dark YA or a creepy combination of the above, you will discover how awesome all the different facets of the dark lit genre can be!
WHAT CAN YOU WIN
Each blog host is offering a different prize. From free books, ebooks, trinkets and other tokens, you can get yourself some sweet swag just in time for the holidays.
FROM ME!
I’ve decided to offer up a starring role in one of my short stories!
The winner of my Creepfest Contest will win the chance to completely customize a character who will appear in an upcoming story I write.
I will send you a full questionnaire (believe me, I’ve got lots!) for you to fill out with all the characteristics, quirks and craziness you desire!
I love a challenge, and I think this is a fun way for me to stretch my writing muscles, while also immortalizing your very own creation in one of my dark & creepy tales.

PARTICIPATING SITES
Mary’s eerie tales inspire in readers the urge to double-check the deepest, darkest closets, to peer anxiously under the creakiest of beds, and to always sleep with the lights on.

Finally made it here for Creepfest. This prize sounds spooktacular. *grins* Wish I had eye teeth that were pointy to make the web grin even better. *grins again*
I still have my last contest running to win a signed copy of my short, A Taste of Murder, in the UK Mag, Twisted Tongue. Creep on by, lurk awhile, if you haven’t already. I am on vacation at the folks in WI. Just flew in yesterday. A little frazzled and tired, so if you have been, I apologize.
Happy Creeping,
-Nora
I’m finally making my rounds. What a crazy few weeks! I’d totally love to be immortalized.
I would like to enter your contest. Thanks.
