Thank you. From the blackest corners of your mind, they call, pulling you deep into shadow, twisting your senses, keeping you from sleep.

It's time to face your darkest fears.

This is Tales to Terrify.

This is Tales to Terrify. Good evening, children of the night, and welcome.

Our flash fiction contest officially went live this week, and we've already got a handful of fantastic submissions. If you'd like to get in on the action, start by heading over to our website and

click on the Flash Contest banner on the homepage for a look at our muse. Gaze deep into the blackness of the eyes.

Let it draw you in, down deep into the abyss. Absorb the inspiration you find there,

and then spill it out onto the page, in one thousand words or less, that is. Our editors are

champing at the bit to read what you create, so best not let them down. There's no telling

what they might do. You've got until the end of the month to submit, which, if this month is anything like January, I suspect is going to creep up mighty fast.

Also, if you're shopping for that perfect Valentine's gift, we've got some great deals coming up on the Tales to Terrify store.

T-shirts,

hoodies, stickers, you name it, are up to 35% off from the 10th to the 12th of this month.

If you really want to show how much you care for that special someone, sure, you could rip your beating heart from your chest and offer it up as a token of your

undying love, or the next best thing, how about a Tales to Terrify T-shirt?

Visit talesetorify.com slash merch to check out everything we've got on offer.

And, as a reminder, all proceeds from sales go back

into the show. So you'll be making our hearts swell as well when you get some gear.
