Read the comments section for even MORE stories we just couldn’t fit in this issue.

Firstly, I would like to thank Erica for asking me to be ambassador for this week’s Top in Fiction, and helping me to discover such an incredible collection of writers. To everyone who submitted a story this week, I just have to say thanks very much. I loved reading every word, and not only was it a delight to see such talented wordsmiths here on Substack, it was also inspiring to see such a diverse range of styles and genres. Truly outstanding. I will be following what all of you write next with great interest.

You can find me at

Dans Deliberations

where I write short stories about anything really, but mostly with a supernatural spin. I also do the odd review of movies, books and TV when I get the chance. Thanks again.
