Within this issue, we have the winners of the Bristol Horror Con’s writing contest, chosen by the editorial and publishing team here at Far Horizons! http://bristolhorrorcon. weebly.com/ Congratulations to our winners: “Jack in the Box” by Baylea Heart – Overall winner. “Gardener’s Delight” by April Jane Rowan – 1st runner up. “The Dead Angel” by Ro McNulty – 2nd runner up. Each story is a very different take on the theme of horror but all are set in Bristol, England. “Jack in the Box” is sure to strike fear in anyone who has spent time with a child. “Gardener’s Delight” will give you mycophobia, and “The Dead Angel” is a thrilling take on just what could happen. We’re hitting November with a bit of a gothic theme running, dark castles, scary situations and awesome, awesome darkness abound! It’s also National Novel Writing Month around the globe with many authors sweating over word counts, plot bunnies digging holes in their stories, and character development that keeps you awake all night long! Good luck to all those who are participating, and I’m sure we’ll see some fantastic novels coming out soon that were borne of NaNoWriMo madness! What lies beyond the far horizons? Dare to find out? Read on dear readers! Read on!
